Plan:
Microcomputer overview
why, what, platforms, functions, legacy timeline
Robotics overview
control, sensory, autonomous, programmed, learning, adaptive
uses: dangerous, disconnected (radiation, fire, distance)
e.g. Mars rover 24 minute delay EACH WAY
We usually teach programming this way:
Say we wanted to teach you how to build or repair a motorcycle, then began with little gears, chains, wheels and so on.
Or, we could take you for a ride in a motorcycle, and then you’d have context, as well as motivation.
Autonomy, mastery, sense of purpose: minecraft.edu
Simple I/O interface: Phidgets-sensory and control
USB based, powered over interface
many sensors
extension boards enable other functions (sensors, controls)
can be programmed in other languages
advanced version (1070+) include ethernet, linux server
What is linux?
We need to review operating systems next
Sensors and controls: analog and digital
elab as platform
CTs for current, if voltage known, then power
Veris units for CO2, RH, temp, analog, 0-5 Vdc
Omega sonar units for tank level, 4-20 mA
Omega water flow units, dry contact from flow paddle wheel
Advanced I/O interface/microcomputer: Raspberry Pi
Ethernet/wireless assumed
ssh enabled
runs versions of linux OS (raspian)
HDMI for video
AV inputs/outputs
USB keyboard and mouse
no HD, just an SD card
alone has digital and analog inputs and outputs
PiFace board has more, including relays, I/O
can host servers: apache, sql, minecraft
Goals: install, ifconfig, ssh, , netatalk, apache2, html5, css, python
apache log analysis, tail -f
—why are these important?——
embedded systems
autonomous systems (drones, robotics)
pervasive (cars, planes, buildings)
Very advanced I/O microcomputer: Arduino platform
smallest is called nano
largest is called mega
Italian design (duomillenueva =2009)
runs programs you load into it, just like the old days
can be very fast
many expansion possibilities
example of embedded computer system
