The master's thesis deals with problems which is associated with rough detection of distance between wireless modules based on ZigBee technology. In the first logical part it theoretically describes this technology and their characteristics. This section gives basic informations needed to understand the operation of wireless communications and also acquaint him with some of the terms from this sphere. Next thing is description of the medium access together with a detailed description of functions that are crucial for deter-mining the signal strength. The second part is devoted to describe the 1321XDSK-BDM development kit. Another section is devoted to the design of the user's interface for displaying measured data. It consists of a theoretical design, which describes the initial vision of the device accompanied by solution of communication between wireless module and the proposed device. Follows the design of the involvement in Eagle software and explanation of the various components. In the last two chapters of the whole logical structure is described construction of the device and simple user's guide. The following chapter talks about the selection of suited application, necessary changes and own implementation of source code. There is even a description of important features and components of the application. The penultimate chapter contains a distance measurement in terrain using wireless modules and designed device. Here are tested different influences on the final distance measurement accuracy. In conclusion there is a debate over the results achieved.

Fokus i examensarbetet har varit att konstruera och programmera en självstyrande bil med avgränsningar till regelverket i tävlingen Freescale cup. Då studien befinner sig i en tävlingsdomän, blir precision och hastighet två huvudfaktorer för linjeföljning och navigering. För att bemöta de ovanstående problem, fokuseras studien i denna rapport på utvecklandet av en ljusbehandlar-algoritm. Detta för hantera och standardisera linjeavkodningen och linjeidentifieringen. Detta kombinerat med en primärreglering som hanterar styrningen med avseende på linjeidentifieringen med tidsförskjutning för sekundärreglering vid behov. För att mäta precision utfördes tester genom tre olika metoder på linjeavläsningen: (1) avläsning av sensordata utan filtrering,(2) avläsning av sensordata via Kalmanfilter samt (3) avläsning av sensordata med en adaptiv ljusalgoritm för de olika fälten och ljusförhållanden. Dessa i kombination med väl injusterad PID-styralgoritm borgade för god precision och linjeföljning under dåliga förhållanden.   Studien påvisar att med den adaptiva ljusalgoritmen i kombination med linjeföljaralgoritmen och sekundärreglering via look ahead-algoritmen kan hastigheter som tangerar optimala förhållanden även uppnås under mer kaotiska och dåliga förhållanden. Bilen finner sin väg trots ljusförhållanden så låga som 20 lux. Studien styrker även fördelarna med den adaptiva ljusalgoritmen i kombination med linjeföljaralgoritmen och look ahead-algoritmen som primärreglering under optimala driftförhållanden.   Effektiviteten av studien och de algoritmer de mynnades ut i kvantifierades och jämfördes genom varvtider och dess linjeföljarförmåga under olika ljusförhållanden och olika gynnsamma underlag. Som ytterligare ett led för att få upp snitthastigheten med aktiv chassidynamik, nyttjades styrvinkeln som en funktion till differentialdriften av motorerna för att bibehålla sitt väggrepp genom kurvorna och hastigheten med aktiv hastighetskontroll.

This master's thesis focuses on designing and implementing a framework that would offer basic program resources for application development on hardware platform FITkit Minerva. First part of this work focuses on designing a data channel between PC and the kit for which the USB interface was used. Next part focuses on implementing a channel between an ARM based microcontroller and FPGA Xilinx Spartan-6. That led to creating a special system inside FPGA that allows adding new HW components that communicate with the microcontroller, which can be used for implementing HW acceleration techniques. Another outcome of this work is a debugging interface that allows to program and debug FPGA using development environment Xilinx ISE without a need of the original Xilinx JTAG adapter. This was achieved by using the XVC protocol that allows to create a custom JTAG adapter that in this case was implemented in the software of the microcontroller.

This graduation thesis deals with temperature sensors and theirs connection to the microcontroller MCF52233. In the introductory chapters there is description of the principles and characteristics of the heat sensitive elements and theirs abilities of connection to the microcontrollers. Further there is a real proposal and description of the connection realization with sensors DS1620 (intelligent temperature sensor which communicates via serial synchronous link), DS18B20 (intelligent temperature sensor which communicates via 1-Wire bus), LM335 (precise temperature sensor) and KTY81-210 (resistance temperature sensor which is made of silicon). There was a need to create software for the communication between sensors and microcontroller MCF52233. Communication with the superior PC computer was done by USB interface. Software background was created to show temperature readings on the PC computer. Besides the realized USB communication there was done theoretical analysis of the communication via Ethernet bus. On the enclosed CD you can find testing software for the microcontroller and PC computer which allows you to get temperature values from sensors and show them on the screen of the PC computer.

Thesis describes the design and realization of linearization display unit that will receive pulses from a gear flow meter KRACHT whose frequency corresponds to a flow. The measured value is flow that nonlinearly depends on the temperature and viscosity of the medium. The dependency is described by calibration curves for each flow meter. The task of the diploma thesis is to design, implement, and verify the operation of the display unit, which calculates the actual flow rate from the input data (pulse rate, temperature, viscosity, and flow meter calibration curves). The device will contain a suitable user interface to display all measured values, inputs for connecting measuring sensors, and outputs for transmission of measured data. A part of the device will be a USB interface for configuration and uploading calibration curves from a PC application, which is designed by diploma student.
