MarioKart

The full description of this project can be found on our github wiki

Purpose

To retrofit one of the EE department's electric go-karts with a drive by wire system, controllable over a single USB interface. Add to this a simple example of a closed-loop controller using sensors and software running on a *nix laptop.

Method

Control the electric motor, servo driven steering wheel and actuated brake pedal via embedded arm microprocessors. The separate micros are connected via a CAN and also leave room for an arbitrary number of analog and digital sensors.

Behavioural-level software runs on a laptop connected to this network via USB.

Future Work

Develop a more complete sensor network (possibly including computer vision in collaboration with cosc428) alongside more advanced controller software.
