Paul's SE450 Software Team Project Homepage

Senior Project:

• Remote Platform (Luminary Micro LM3S811 ARM Cortex-M3)
• 32-bit RISC Processor
• Experiments
• Timers
• Analog to Digital Conversion
• IDG300 Gyroscope
• Video of Gyroscope Experiment
• Serial Communications
• Xbee
• GPS
• Pulse Width Modulutaion (PWM)
• R/C Servo Control
• Most R/C servos require 5v on the data line, the processor's PWM peripheral output is only 3.3v, possibly 3.0v, this has some negative implications...
• SOLUTION: using NPN transistors to shift voltage levels of the PWM pulses. It works and it is simple, feel free to email me if you see any problems with it...
