This thesis deals with realization of modular camera system. Introductory part is focused on market research and concept of the system. Next part is dedicated to the choice of components for realization of the system. Practical part deals firstly with design of printed circuit board for supporting control unit which will be controlling peripherals like motion sensor, IR illuminator, eventually magnetic door contact and also focuses on software creation for main and supporting control unit.

Today’s robotics technology is often extremely user and location dependable, meaning that only a specific user using a specific hardware or software interface in a specific location can access that technique and alter it. This thesis focuses on an oil-monitoring system called Orilink, with those exact constraints. Orilink is only accessible through a specific computer using a serial port located in a special place. It is neither accessible from elsewhere nor through the cloud. This thesis removes that constraint and enables the access to Orilink independently of the user’s location or software / hardware interface.

This master's thesis deals use FITkit for longtime temperature monitoring without necessity connection on PC. Describe possibilities connection different heat-sensitive elements to FITkit inclusive physical realization. Further this thesis deals with measuring of temperature, displaying temperature and saving to memory, blocks-partitioning of memory. Is defined communication protocol between FITkit and PC for bulk downloading of data. So are solving problems with saving measure data to text files and next processing in table processors.

The backbone of this dissertation is a discussion of the adaptability of optical fiber modes of transmission. The technological boom in commercial vehicles tends to include more electronic components and more data flow. The traditional copper transmission is reliable but has drawbacks. At present optical fiber, technology is in huge demand in fields like avionics, medicine, and communication across continents. The drastic shift to fiber was due to the enormous increase in capacity. Simultaneously the commercial vehicle sector is advancing in the direction of sensors that require a non-disruptive data flow. Furthermore, autonomous driving technology pushes the transition from copper to optic fiber. One expects optical fiber to supplant the traditional copper cables in the future. The dispersion and scattering losses need to be studied as well as the difference in cost.

La presente tesis describe el trabajo de ingeniería, investigación, medición, cálculo, diseño, implementación e instalación de un equipo electrónico denominado Placa Estación USB, el cual se encontrará en estaciones de radios HF y/o VHF rurales y en estos lugares remotos se encargará de automatizarlas, logrando de esta manera conocer el estado de los parámetros más importantes de cada locación y así dejarlos listos para poder leerlos desde cualquier punto de la red. También se trata de optimizar el uso de cada estación facilitando las funciones del usuario no especializado.

Existen diversas tecnologías de comunicación con una computadora para la adquisición de datos, entre los más comunes se encuentran: PCI, USB, Ethernet, Firewire, puerto serial, etc. Dentro de ellos, el USB destaca por su configuración automática, bajo costo y facilidad de uso. A pesar de existir varios sistemas de adquisición de datos en el mercado, su uso se ve restringido debido a sus altos costos y por poder usarlo sólo con las aplicaciones y drivers del proveedor. En el presente trabajo se diseña un sistema de adquisición de datos con interface USB utilizando un microcontrolador Atmel de la familia AVR XMEGA, buscando en todo momento obtener la máxima tasa de transferencia posible. Para ello se desarrolla una aplicación en el microcontrolador que permita leer datos adquiridos de cuatro canales del ADC del microcontrolador. Asimismo, se desarrolla una clase USB propietaria que define cómo se van a trasferir los datos, qué tipo de transferencias USB se van a usar y cuál va a ser su máxima tasa de transferencia posible. En el lado de la computadora, se desarrolla una aplicación en lenguaje C que permita a la computadora poder comunicarse con el microcontrolador a través del bus USB. Para el desarrollo del firmware del microcontrolador se tomó como base el framework USB que provee Atmel (ASF 3.1.3, Atmel Software Framework), y posteriormente fue implementado en la tarjeta de evaluación XMEGA – A3BU XPLAINED con una frecuencia de CPU de 32MHz. Se obtuvo que en promedio se puede transmitir datos a 8.46Mbps usando un alto nivel de optimización del compilador. Se concluye que si se quiere obtener mejores tasas de transferencia se debe mejorar una serie de factores como: MIPS del microcontrolador y optimización del framework USB de Atmel. Finalmente, se recomienda portar este trabajo a microcontroladores que soporten el modo “Alta Velocidad” (del inglés High Speed) del USB 2.0, cuya velocidad por bit es de 480Mbps, así como desarrollar las etapas de preprocesamiento de las señales: amplificación, filtrado, e aislamiento de las señales que se quieran enviar por la interfaz USB.

<p>Arbetet är ett examensarbete i högskoleingenjörsutbildningen, inriktning datateknik, på Linnéuniversitet. Arcoma AB är ett företag i Växjö som utvecklar och tillverkar kompletta röntgensystem. Företaget har som mål att förbättra användarvänligheten av systemet med hjälp av en LED-display. De kan förbättra systemet genom att byta ut en enhet som styr röntgengeneratorn mot LED-displayen. Detta leder till att användaren får bättre kontroll och styrning av systemet, samtidigt som patienten behandlas.</p><p>I rapporten beskrivs implementering av både hårdvara och mjukvara till displayen, samt den tekniska bakgrunden som till exempel HDMI och LED-tekniken. Mjukvaran har testats direkt mot displayen vilket har gjort testningen intressant. För att lösa uppgiften har vi fått använda Arcomas system och utvecklingsverktyg. Programspråket som användes var framförallt C++.</p><p>Resultatet blev ett system som byggs upp av Arcomas hårdvaruplattform, vår kringelektronik och displayen där de sistnämnda byggdes in i en låda. Utöver displayen utvecklades en demoapplikation för generatorstyrning som styrs av en USB-mus. Arcoma är nöjda över resultatet då vi löst huvuduppgiften med displayen, men även löst de extrauppgifter som fanns. Idag försöker Arcoma skapa en efterfrågan för lösningen i deras nya produkter.</p> / <p>This abstract describes the Bachelor of Science in engineering thesis for computer science at Linnaeus University. Arcoma AB in Växjö is a company that constructs and develops complete x-ray systems. The goal of the company is to improve the usability of the system with the help of a LED display. Arcoma can improve the system by exchange the unit that controls the x-ray generator with the LED display instead. This will give the user the ability to have better overview and control of the system, while treating the patient.</p><p>This report describes the implementation of both the software and the hardware for the display, but also the technical background for some standards like HDMI and the LED technologic. The software has been tested directly to the display, and therefore made the testing interesting. We have used the Arcoma system and the development tools to solve the problem. The programming language that was used to solve the problem was mainly C++.</p><p>The result was a system that is build up by the Arcoma hardware platform, our surrounding electronics and the display where the last ones were built in a box. Aside the display a demo application was developed for controlling the generator. This applications is controlled by a USB mouse. Arcoma is pleased with the result of the main problem with the display, and they are also pleased with us solving the additional problems that existed. Arcoma wants to create a demand of this solution in their new products.</p>
