10 ECTS Senior Freshman Undergraduate Engineering module. Median class size: 161.  Laboratory Task. Hardware/Software co-design. Buggy design, motor control, microcontroller programming and interfacing, Zigbee wireless communications, system control, specification achievement, project planning design and management.

The 2E10 Engineering Design IV module introduces the challenge of electronic systems design. The project is an example of ‘hardware and software co-design’ and the scale of the task is such that it requires teamwork and a co-ordinated effort. Each group has access to the basic shell of a vehicle that includes the motor assemblies, battery holders and sensors. The completed system should comprise of a computer controlled autonomous vehicle with motor driven wheels and position sensors. The motors and the position sensors should operate under control from a programmable microcontroller and the vehicle should communicate with a base station using a wireless standard module.
