The aim of master thesis was to investigate a simple camera and processor Atmel AVR unit implementation. Thesis describes how to get image from C3088 module and management over the bank of camera registers. Work includes limitation draft for this way of processing the information. Thesis also solves an exemplary model for object recognition using this implementation.

The aim of the project is to design a generic logic analyzer based on an FPGA. The analyzer should be able to analyze protocols such as I2C, SPI, RS232, RS485 and GPIO. The captured data can be observed using an embedded graphical display or using a PC. The PC can be used to control the analyzer and to save the captured data. The thesis is divided into several parts. First, the basic structure of the analyzer is described including detailed description of its particular components. Later on, the most common protocols that can be decoded using the analyzer are described. Finally, the FPGA subsystem and microcontroller application are presented together with corresponding source codes.

The thesis deals with design and construction of diagnostic device for batteries. In the analysis I described and compared well known I2C bus and quite similar SMBus. The latter bus is used in the laptop batteries called Smart Battery. The design includes the USB bus, which I described briefly in analysis too. I suggested a several designs, discuss them and build the best one of them. The realization of the diagnostic device includes construction aspect and programing aspect. Both aspects are described in the thesis. At last, the results of test diagnostic of several batteries carried out by designed device are introduced.

This dissertation deals with a development of MCU position steering application of two servomotors and with data process evaluation from a connected sensor for distance measuring as well. The connected sensor is adjustable as for azimuth and elevation. Data from the sensor will be useful both for instant evaluation according to preset criteria and for additional possible processing at PC. The development is to be carry out at MCU ATmega128. HMI is represented with keyboard, LCD and joystick. The result of the dissertation is to be adjusted for practical demo. This research has been supported by the Czech Ministry of Education in the frame of MSM 0021630529 Research Intention Inteligent Systems in Automation.

This master thesis deals with measuring condensed moisture in constructions using measuring moisture porosity material. Market research was performed and were made sensors own construction based on capacity principle and their attributes were measured. In this thesis is also described method, which is used for calibration for conditions in building constructions causing condensation of water.

Triangulation is used in a wide range of applications of position estimation. Usually it is donebymeasuring angles by hand to estimate positions in land surveying, navigation and astronomy.Withthe rise of image recognition arises the possibility to triangulate automatically. The aim ofthis thesisis to use the image recognition camera Pixy2 to triangulate a target i threedimensions. It is basedon previous projects on the topic to extend the system to estimatepositions over a larger spaceusing more Pixy2s. The setup used five Pixy2s with pan-tilt kitsand one Raspberry Pi 4 B. Somelimitations to the hardware was discovered, limiting the extentof the space in which triangulationcould be successfully performed. Furthermore, there weresome issues with the image recognitionalgorithm in the environment positioning was performed.The thesis was successful in that it managesto triangulate positions over a larger area thanprevious projects and in all three dimensions. Thesystem could also follow a target’s trajectory,albeit, there were some gaps in the measurements.

Researchers often work on experimental setups that are highly specialized and usually designed and manufactured for a single or a few test series. The challenges for automation technology and measurement data acquisition in the apparatus are as unique as these experimental setups. In the following, Bochum University of Applied Sciences presents its approach to implementing different measurement and automation tasks in a flexible but also standardized way. Existing microcontrollers such as Raspberry Pi, Arduino or Controllino are used as the basis for the greatest possible flexibility. It is often not necessary to record high-precision measurement data. In this cases inexpensive development boards can be used that already include peripherals for direct connection to Arduinos or Raspberry Pi’s. Such development boards are often offered at very low cost and with short delivery times for many different measurement tasks. In this paper, the implementation of the requirements is discussed using a current project that deals with thermal energy recovery using 'smart materials' (shape memory alloys) as an example.

Arduino Verkstad AB, the Swedish branch of Arduino, has developed a prototype that demonstrates a smart transducer network with a self-configurable communication protocol. The protocol is called I2C+, since it is based upon I2C. One of the possible areas of application is the EU funded PELARS project, where Arduino Verkstad is responsible for creating educational tools. Within the PELARS project, a maximum number of transducer modules is expected to be 20 modules, connected at the same time.The aim of this thesis was to create a testing tool and a test suite for the prototype system, which later could be used and also further developed by engineers at Arduino Verkstad, during the development of the final product. Though the testing tool was primarily needed for this particular system, it was considered desirable if it could be reused for similar projects as well.It was relevant to create the testing tool and the test suite in order to analyse the validity of the I2C+ protocol, which might become Arduino's future standard in connectivity between smart transducers. The performance of the I2C+ protocol also affects the implementation of the smart transducer system within the PELARS project.This work has been guided by a specification of requirements and also by a systematic top-down approach of solving several subproblems. A testing tool and a test suite was created, which serves as a proof-of-concept. The testing tool has a modular design, which makes the solution reusable for other purposes. The testing tool and the test suite was validated by using Arduino's prototype as a test object. Although only 10 transducer modules was used during these tests, the results showed that the prototype does not perform well for a growing number of modules. Therefore, improvement of the system and further testing is advised.
