A simple way to detect the track's center for the Freescale Cup Smart Race

[#1]

Hello community,

This document is the continuation of the documents Line scan camera with KSDK [ADC + PIT + GPIO] and Controlling speed in DC motors and position in servomotors with KSDK [FTM + GPIO] which show the ease of use of the peripheral drivers from Kinetis SDK applied to the Freescale Cup smart car. This time I bring to you a document which explains an easy way to detect the track's line from the data acquired with the linear camera.

The required material to run this project is:

• A Servomotor (the project supports up to two servomotors, one servomotor is included in the smart car kit).
• Two DC motors (included in the smart car kit).
• Line scan camera (the project supports up to two cameras).
• FRDM-KL25Z based on the Kinetis Microcontroller KL25Z.
• FRDM-TFC shield.
• Mini-USB cable.

This material can be bought in The Freescale Cup Intelligent Car Development.
