| Description |
The Olin Robotics Blockset for xPC Target is a set of xPC Target drivers for common robotics devices. The supported devices are:
Garmin GPS 18-5Hz (Consumer GPS)
NAVCOM SF-2050G (Precision GPS)
Microstrain 3DM-GX1 (INS)
SICK LMS 291-S05 (LIDAR up to 500Kbps, any operation requires Fastcom 422/2-PCI-335 serial card)
The GPS and INS drivers allow the user to read data off the devices. Each device's proprietary software from the manufacturer or hand coded ASCII RS232 instructions must be used to configure the device before use. There are example models and documentation included directing the user how set up and use the drivers. These drivers use standard RS232 serial hardware.
The SICK LMS 291-S05 driver allows the user to read distance data and write configuration data using a handful of blocks. This driver supports the LMS 291-S05 at both its low speeds (<500Kbps) and its RS422 500Kbps high speed transfer rate using a required specific serial card, Fastcom 422/2-PCI-335. There are example models and documentation included on how to setup and use the LMS 291-S05 with the xPC Target drivers.
Additionally, there are some blocks with simple examples of setting up feedback motor control in xPC Target using an Analog output and an Encoder input. This demo relies on the Sensoray 526 driver blocks which are included with the shipping version of xPC Target.
The Olin Robotics Blockset for xPC Target was envisioned and funded by Professor Dave Barrett of Olin College for use in Olin College's SCOPE projects (Senior Consulting Program for Engineering). The design and development of the blockset was completed under contract with The MathWorks by John Kluza and Krishna Tamminana of MathWorks Consulting Services.
The Olin Robotics Blockset has no warranties or guarantees associated with it. These drivers have been tested on MATLAB Release 2007a with the hardware specified. However, there are a great deal of ways hardware and software configurations can vary, and no guarantee is made about the functionality of these blocks on any other system. |
