Este es un teclado que tiene como propósito ayudar a las personas con problemas motrices, específicamente en las manos. Existen programas de diseño como photoshop o autocad en los cuales se puede ahorrar tiempo usando los macros con el teclado en lugar de usar el mouse para todo. KES tiene el propósito de ayudar a hacer más rápido el uso de estos programas y también ayudar a las personas con problemas motrices ya que con solo pulsar un botón será lo mismo que utilizar una combinación de los mismos. KES tiene la misión de agilizar el uso de macros en programas que conviene, aparte de el apoyo ofrecido a las personas con dificultades motrices. Enlace al video KES - YouTube

Getting Started with the NXP CUP These pages help you with the question of how to achieve the goal of creating an autonomous vehicle that quickly navigates around a track (timed race) and solves precision tasks (Figure 8, Speed limit zone, Obstacle avoidance) What is a Microcontroller? For information on what a microcontroller is head to the microcontrollers article. Getting Started - Learn to Program a microcontroller First off, you are going to need to know C programming. For a crash-course head to c-programming-for-embedded-systems. The classic first application to learn how to program a microcontroller is to get through the process of Blinking an LED. This wiki contains a tutorial for each of the Cup microprocessors which simplifies the process of setting up the evaluation board, installing the Integrated Development Environment, and programming the board with a simple set of software which blinks a LED. The Blink a LED tutorial is the first of 4 tutorials designed to familiarize students with the process of designing a cup car. These four tutorials will introduce students to many of the fundamentals of robotics, the software used to control the locomotion and sensors on an autonomous line following vehicle, and provide example code which help simplify the process of creating a competitive entry in the NXP CUP.

A tomada inteligente segue a filosofia proposta pelo protocolo internacional de medição e verificação (PIMVP) que diz “não gerenciamos aquilo que não medimos”. Porém, nem sempre temos um equipamento acessível ou recurso adequado para isso. A proposta da tomada é fornecer aos usuários um sistema de medição e controle sem a necessidade de grandes investimentos. O adaptador de tomada inteligente possui um circuito de medição de corrente elétrica e um circuito para medição da tensão elétrica presente na tomada. Estas informações são, inicialmente, armazenadas em na memória interna da tomada. Um aplicativo desenvolvido para dispositivos Android se comunica com a tomada, através da rede wireless da residência. Link do dropbox para acessar arquivos: Dropbox - Tomada Inteligente

"How am I ? " Es un proyecto que esta diseñado para poder ayudar a los niños autistas, ya que ellos tienen problemas a la hora de trabajar la empatía y la socialización con las demás personas, incluyendo su familia. Con la ayuda de este dispositivo interactivo los niños podrán practicar estas habilidades, para así ayudarlos notablemente en su vida cotidiana. El proyecto inicial es a través de sonidos de animales, el niño asocia el sonido a una carta que cuenta con la imagen de los sonidos que se van a reproducir. Esto con la finalidad inicial de enseñarle al niño a usar el dispositivo interactivo para después proceder a presentarle Imágenes o gestos de emociones para que las reconozca y así trabajar en su empatía. Con ayuda de  la Freescale Freedom Development Platform FRDM-KL25Z  y sensores infra-rojos se lee un código de barras colocado en las cartas para poder llevar la información a la computadora y a su vez mueve un servo motor que impulsa a un coche de juguete con un mecanismo de biela manivela para poder contar su avance y habilidad. Esto para hacer esta terapia mas interactiva y a manera de juego.

Hardware Servos are specialized dc motors geared to produced high-torques and set at specific angles vs rotating continously. The ability to position the servo at a specific angle over and over makes them ideal for robotics, radio controlled car and other various applications. A typical servo will have range of motion from 180-270 degrees. Most modern servos have a three wire interface, red (V+), black (ground), and white (control). To control a servo you must send it a variable length commands (pulse) in 20ms increments. This type of control is called Pulse Width Modulation. Pulse Width Modulation is a square wave with a set period. By changing the width controlling the proportion of on versus off time, you can obtain a digital ratio from 0-100%. That ratio of on versus off time is called the duty cycle. A microcontroller generates a PWM signal using a timer. The time from the beginning of one sequence to the next is called the period. The main timer registers include: Counter, Modulo, Count Initialization Value, Channel Value, FTM Status & Control, and Channel Status & Control. The Counter will count up from the Count Initialization Value and reset after reaching Modulo. One tradeoff of the design is the Modulo value we set. It represents the count value of a full duty cycle and also the resolution of our servo control. Setting a higher Modulo value allows for more precise variation in the servo, i.e. more accurate steering. The downside is that a higher value requires more time per cycle. It is necessary to configure a timer module for the drive motor separate from the servo because they each require different clock frequencies. Another tradeoff of pulse width modulation is whether it is edge-aligned or center-aligned. Edge-aligned PWM, where the channel is cleared at counter overflow and set at channel match, is simpler to implement in hardware. Center-aligned PWM, where the counter counts up and down, is more difficult to implement but does not give as much noise interference when the channel matches. Servos have 3 wires coming out of them: Ground: Black, Brown Power: Red PWM Signal: White, Yellow, Orange Spec Sheet for Servo used in Freescale Cup Futaba-S-3010 Creating the PWM Signal Much of what is needed to create this signal is discussed in the Motor Control tutorial. Click here to review how to configure a PWM signal on your microcontroller. The same microcontroller configuration utilized to drive a motor can be modified slightly to rotate the arm of a servo. Since the Servo and motor require different clock frequencies, it is necessary to configure a timer module for the servo separate from the motor. Freescale Cup participants will configure the timer modules to output signals that control a steering Servo via varying the Duty Cycle of a PWM signal. Microcontroller Reference Manual: Timer Information You will find high level information about Timer usage in several different areas of a reference manual. See the reference-manual article for more general information. Relevant Chapters: Introduction: Timer modules - lists the memory map and register definitions for the GPIO System Modules: System Integration Modules (SIM) - provides system control and chip configuration registers Chip Configuration: Timers Signal Multiplexing: Port control and interrupts Methods of controlling steering angles Construct a look-up table One way of controlling the steering angles is to construct a look-up table. The input of the look-up table can be the shift distance(in pixels) from the center, and the output could be the steering angles. The look-up table can be put into an excel file. So when you want to use it, just copy and paste the table into your code file. Here is an example of how to construct a look-up table. 1. Set up basic parameters of your car: height of camera(h), angle of camera(theta), velocity of car(v), servo delay(s).. 2. Draw a graph to help you develop a function between your input parameters and your output steering angles 3. Put all paraments into excel. So if you want to change any parameters in the future it will be very convenient. 4. Copy and paste look-up table into code file Note: depending on how you define your parameters, the look-up table may not work as well as you expected. Experiments show that the look-up table works well when the shift distance is small( small turns) and the car tends to go off track when the shift distance is big(sharp turns). Poportional Control (P Control) You can map your servo angle based directly on your line location. Take the derivative of the camera signal and use the derivative peaks as the edges of the line. Take the location of each peak and subtract them from each other to get the line width. Taking the min line peak plus line width will give you the location of the line. Now take that location and map it to your servo. We made Camera.Lock = loc and using this we made Motor.ServoAngle = Camera.Lock»1; This made our line location map directly to our servo and it seemed to work well for us.
