DARSI System Breakdown: Fall 2004

DARSI versus DARSI II

Fall 2004 Capstone Project: DARSI

• Fully functioning data acquisition microprocessor subsystems

• Linear position & Hall-effect wheel sensors

• SmartMedia memory logging

• Automated CAN Bus network

• MS Windows data viewing software

Spring 2006 Capstone Project: DARSI II

• Hardware miniaturization; surface mount chips

• CAN Bus expansion; ‘bus master’ module

• Real-time information for driver; LCD module

• Multi-sensor compatible modules

• Enhanced PC software; analysis tools

• Traction control; real-time analysis/control module

DARSI II: Bus Master Module

• PIC Microcontroller – PIC18F458

• Controller Area Network (CAN)

• C Programmable

• Polling Data / Unique Bus Traffic

Current Bus Master:

CAN Bus Data Frame

Bus Master ‘Module’:

• Code package

• Installed on every DARSI microprocessor

• Hardware enabled

Hardware settings control which module acts as bus master.

DARSI II: LCD Module

LCD Module:
