This educational application by Freescale teaches you about sensor fusion and lets you experiment with some of the routines already present in your Android™ device. It does not require that your device uses Freescale sensors. The app supports 6 and 9-axis fusion routines native to your device, as well as those on compatible development boards. This app just lets you experiment with what you already have. http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/overview.jsp?code=XTRSICSNSTLBOX

How to use the SysTick peripheral in the Cortex core with interrupts

Depending on which MCU Devlopment board you have chosen, you will need to figure out a way to mount this to the chassis. I have seen everything from cardboard, to aluminum, to wood. Below is a template complete with CAD drawings to mount the Qorivva TRK-MPC5604B board and the Motor Board onto the chassis. We use plexiglass for ours, but any other millable material is appropriate. The large hole in the middle is for cables from the servo. We attach the board to the car using the plastic standoffs (you will need them 55 mm long, so in our case, we used the combination of 40 + 15 mm) - see an example (SOS code 10260). To attach both the processor and interface boards the simillar 5mm plastic standoffs were used. Preview (.pdf) CAD file (.dxf)

The TRK-MPC560xB: MPC560xB StarterTRAK (Development Kit) is a Freescale evaluation board powered by the qorivva chip. The Qorivva microcontrollers family is a set of 32 bit Power Architecture chips. Which Chip do you have? The chipset mounted on the boards for the Freescale Cup can vary. Always validate your chipset to know it's full capabilities. MPC560xB Product Information Page Difference Highlights: 5604B = 512MB Code Flash; no DMA 5606B = 1MB Code Flash; Has 16-Channel DMA 5607B = 1.5Mb Code Flash; Has 16-Channel DMA TRK-MPC5604B Hardware Setup There are several main hardware configuration steps. After installing the battery, once the USB cable has been connected between the evaluation board and PC, it may be necessary to update the chip firmware which requires moving a jumper pin on the evaluation board.

Nosotros creemos que es más importante el “porque lo hacemos” a el “que hacemos” por eso nos enfocamos a un proyecto centrado a pacientes con parálisis cerebral. Tratamos de establecer un medio más cómodo y fácil de usar. Planeamos lograr nuestro objetivo con “Sen-Silla” una silla móvil manipulada por sensores y con esto lograr desplazarse de una manera más accesible a sus capacidades.         Sensilla - YouTube

This page will guide you through the attachment of the servo to the Freescale Cup chassis.   The servo steers the vehicle and is controlled using Pulse-width modulation . Video Tutorial (no sound): Step-by-Step: (Click any image to enlarge) Servo Plate Inside the kit are various mounting options for different servo manufacturers. Look for the bushing of the servo that you are using. You will need the three pieces shown below. You will screw this into the servo. Pieces are notched, so assembly is straight forward. Remove the screw and black servo plate. Mount the yellow servo plate assembly to the servo as shown below. Make sure to add the small yellow washer (pictured below) in between the servo plate and the screw. Tighten well, a servo produces a good amount of torque and will slip if not tight. Steering Bar Assembly Assemble the short arm. Assemble the long arm.   Putting the Two Together Attach the short arm to the yellow bracket. First, insert the bearing into the control arm. This allows the joint to flex and move. Screw this assembly into the servo plate. Attach the long arm to the yellow bracket. Mounting the Servo Motor Attach the motor mount blocks to the back of the servo on both sides. Screw in the attachment blocks from the bottom of the car. Words of Wisdom Be sure to have servo motor in the 0 degree position before securing the control arms. Failure to do so will result in not being utilize the full range of motion. Do not change the position of the steering servomotor by hand. The position of the steering servomotor should be changed through electrical input only. Don’t move the steering servo motor beyond the maximum limit of the movement and this will damage the servo motor

The Tower System is a simple concept. Take basic hardware modules, connect them together and start designing. There are two types of hardware modules, MCU/MPU and peripheral (i.e. serial, memory, LCD, etc.), which plug into backplane "elevator" boards. The Tower System supports up to four prototyping boards. The boards are installed into one of the slots in the Tower System, the signals from each installed module are shared between modules and made easily accessible through exterior headers on the Tower System. For an overview of the Tower System and some of the available modules for use, read the fact sheet here. Notes The Tower System has a "Primary" and a "Secondary" side. Most of the Tower Modules only send signals through the primary side. Many of the signals within your chip are not brought out to the tower pins. During the Hardware design process, be careful of this fact. Most often people plug the USB directly into the module, instead of using the tower USB port. You can use the Tower System modules without the tower. Designing your own Tower Module: Due to the common PCI Express standard pinouts for the tower connector, it is easy to fabricate your own tower module. See the external links section for examples.
