#ARDUINO CAMERA RF TRACKING HOW TO#
It is assumed that the reader has gone through the project how to get started with the arduino and done all the things discussed in it.

5: External USB to TTL converter board for programming Arduino and serial communication This board can be also when it is required to perform serial communication between the PC and the Arduino board.įig. The image of the Arduino pro-mini board and the Arduino IDE is shown in the following:Īnother hardware which can perform the USB to TTL conversion is used to upload the program into the arduino board. The programming IDE used for this project is Arduino IDE version 1.0.3 on Windows operating system. In this project, the Arduino pro-mini board is used, which is pre-programmed with the Arduino boot-loader. The pin number 2, UART Data Out is connected to the RX1 pin of the Arduino pro mini board and pin number 3, UART Data is connected to the TX0 pin. Since the Xbee modules communicate using serial communication protocol with the interfacing devices, they can be connected to a microcontroller using a minimum of four pins, Power supply, and ground, UART Data Out, and UART Data In pins.
Since the pitch of the pins of the modules are not breadboard compatible, one can use the Xbee-based design boards, which comes with breadboard-compatible pins.įig. Two Xbee S1 series transceivers modules are used in this project, and the image of the same module is shown in the following figure. They can be used for simple point-to-point communication systems also. This is a protocol specified for wireless Personal Area Network (PAN) using low-powered wireless transceivers. The ZigBee is the name of a wireless protocol maintained by the IEEE 802.15 standard. The Xbee is the brand name a wireless transceiver device that works on the ZigBee protocol. The data from the mouse is then transmitted wirelessly using anXbee transceiver pair to a distant computer where the data is displayed graphically as a track in which the mouse movement occurs. This project makes use of an optical mouse which works on PS2 protocol and is interfaced with an Arduino board to read the data from it. The optical mouse is a device which has a very small camera inside it which can sense the movement of the ground below it and communicate the change in the X-Y coordinate with an external device through simple serial communication protocols. This project demonstrates how it is possible to make a simplest path tracking device for a ground vehicle with the help of optical mouse. For any UVs the real time tracking of their path is necessary to ensure that they are moving through the proper way. The UVs are commonly used research, military, rescue and agriculture fields.

The microcontroller can even implement to automatically controlling the vehicle without a human driver inside it and such kinds of vehicles are called Unmanned Vehicles (UV). From simple rear view mirror control to complex engine control functions are done by the microcontroller. The applications of microcontroller are not limited to control simple electrical or electronic device but they are widely used in robotics and automotive industries nowadays.
