Senior Project: Year-long, multiple-team, conception to prototype: Real-time Linux hybrid car control system

Requiring detailed planning, extensive research for possible solutions, and working with teams of

students from the mechanical engineering and electrical engineering departments, our goal was to

jointly create a functioning diesel/electric hybrid car. Nume rous rounds of development, testing,

debugging, documenting and tracking changes were required. Teams communicated via E -Mail ListServ,

wiki, and bug-reporting system. All documentation and source code stored in a Subversion repository. At

three month intervals all three teams jointly gave presentations on progress, obstacles, and solutions.

My component of the project utilized a touchscreen embedded computer based on an ARM CPU which

ran a Real-Time Linux kernel and controlled all the car s electrical and mechanical systems. The software

Academic

was network-based, with the backend, real-time component written in C. Frontend in C++, using Qt. A

custom hardware interface was created to isolate the computer from any possible system failures.

Junior Project: Year-long team-oriented, conception to prototype: Handheld opensource videogame console

This project consisted of a single team tasked with developing a hand -held video game console running

on Linux. Team dynamics created problems which had to be overcome. Chall enges included battery

charging/management, Bluetooth wireless connectivity, developing a custom USB keyboard interface,

and testing/debugging embedded software written entirely in C using X11. After the prototype was

complete, the project was presented and demonstrated by all team members at a project fair.
