Below is the various stages of preliminary R&D
Data Extraction Tool
The data extraction tool is used to take data recorded from the arduino and allow it to be analyzed.
The following code was used for analyzation.
The following the graphs were taken from the data.
The spikes in the graphs correspond with the data. Whether the motors are accelerating or at a steady party.
Reflectacne Sensors
The reflectance sensors on the AEV measure the wheel speed as it moves along the track. The sensors are important for measuring the distance the AEV travels to log the vehicles location to keep it from crashing. The software in the Arduino records the distance in order to keep the AEV from crashing.
