Many companies run the risk of animals such as rats and variety of insects invading plants or warehouses, where the products are liable to be contaminated, mainly food industry companies. For the above, we come up with the development of the “pest control using Freescale” which consists of implementing an electronic device that emits ultrasonic frequencies ranging from 30KHz to 65KHz generated by the FRDM KL25Z board transmitted by a buzzer and through an interface may change the operation time of our prototype. Therefore purpose of this project is to solve the pest problem in a "green way" to avoid damaging the environment. Original Attachment has been moved to: Pest_control_using_Freescale.rar

La descripción de este proyecto consta principalmente de tres elementos que destacan el primero y el cual es tomado como planta principal es un reloj despertador el cual esta conformado por un freedom, un LCD de 16x2 caract. y por una pequeña bocina, este será controlado para su funcionamiento con el módulo touch del micro-controlador; como segundo apartado se tiene una tira de LEDS que se empotra a la cabecera de la cama la cual contendrá un dimmer para controlar la cantidad de luz, teniendo como máxima intensidad la hora fijada en la alarma (como apoyo además de la bocina para lograr despertar) y por último un interruptor de apagado que se pretende colocar al otro lado de la habitación donde se desee incorporar el despertador, el cual tendrá forma de canasta de baloncesto, para que solamente al anotar una canasta sea la única forma de apagar la alarma y este proceso sea interactivo.

We are thrilled to present to you, the newest member of our Apalis family of ARM powered computer-on-modules, the Apalis iMX6. The module is based on Freescale i.MX 6 series of System-on-Chip (SoC), runs an ARM Cortex-A9 CPU, and offers an operating frequency of up to 1.2 GHz. Apart from the benefits of long term product availability (of more than 10 years), and compatibility with the existing Apalis T30 module, this module is also qualified for industrial temperature range -40° C to 85° C. More details including datasheet shall be published by the last week of February. For a preliminary datasheet, click here. For more details on Apalis family, click here. To know more about the Apalis T30 module, click here. Here's a first look at the module.

To comply with the rule that mentions that “One processor - No auxiliary processor or other programmable device is allowed”. Participants must check the camera used for the competition. The camera cannot have a processing unit that processes the image for localization, polarization, auto contrast or auto focus. The only authorization is for a compression engine (no image processing, only compression). An Analog to Digital external converter can be used. Such as AD7276/AD7277/AD7278. For any additional cameras, please contact your Regional Freescale Cup Coordinator. They can confirm if the camera can be used and it will be added to this list for further inquiries.

Lecture 1: Introduction and Motor Basics  This training module presented by Professor L. Umanand of CEDT, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore provides an overview of the Freescale Cup – 2011. It introduces to the challenge describing the various components of the intelligent car tracker. Lecture 2: Pulse Width Modulation  This lecture provides an overview of Pulse Width Modulation Lecture 3: Control Design  This lecture describes controller design and PID control Lecture 4: Speed and Position  This Lecture discusses integrating your PID with sensor data Lecture 5: MPC5607B Overview  This training module provides an overview of the 32-bit Qorivva MPC5607B Processor. The course is targeted towards beginners in order to enable them to quick start the development of software on the MPC5607B.

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)

First and foremost, be creative!! Below are just a few inspirational ideas. Option #1 - I cut-down (miter saw) a 4-position TWR-ELEVATOR to make this 2-position design. With the intent of having two boards mounted 1) TWR-PROTO and 2) MCU of choice (K40). If cutting PCB's with power tools is not your thing, you can buy a 2-position Tower Elevator here: http://wavenumber.net/twr-elev-2/ I just marked the holes on the back supportand drilled holes into the TWR-PROTO, a few stand-offs and viola! Option #2 - This option requires the removal of the rear spring. I am not sure how much value that spring honestly provides since most of the track is nice and flat. If you have a newer TWR-ELEVATOR you usually find some way to mount it to the screw holes with some form of L-Bracket. If you have an older TWR-ELEVATOR you can drill a hole in the Secondary Elevator (less PCB traces to worry about) and then mount it to the chassis with a L-Bracket. Option #3 - Check out this gallery of images: https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/106056936857240793028/albums/5598207628299505201

Getting Started with the Freescale Cup How to achieve the goal of creating an autonomous vehicle that quickly navigates around a track? Before continuing with this tutorial, students should take the time to choose which Freescale Microcontroller your team is going to use. The Introduction to Freescale Cup Training article has some details about how to choose your microcontroller. Although the concepts and end results are similar no matter which microcontroller you decide to utilize, much of the software implementation details will differ. 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 Freescale Cup. Here is an outline of the Basic Microcontroller Programming Tutorial: Read the microcontroller article Choose a microcontroller Set up the development environment Set up the microcontroller evaluation board Program A LED move to the next tutorial…

Have you even wondered where to get started when you wish to get support for your project? Here is a short presentation giving you the links to Project Sponsorship, Freescale Social Networks and other useful resources.

There are three types of memory in a typical Micrcontroller  FLASH - where your programs are stored RAM - for manipulating variables during runtime EEPROM - stores long term information

25 student teams from 21 universities coming from 11 countries will meet on 29-30 April for the Freescale Cup EMEA Challenge. Check out the event information at https://www.facebook.com/events/1425416907713292/

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
