Résumé

Use Linux in your robotics and process control designs!

In this practical reference, popular author Lewin Edwards shows how to develop robust, dependable real-time systems for robotics and other control applications, using open-source tools. It demonstrates efficient and low-cost embedded hardware and software design techniques, based on Linux as the development platform and operating system and the Atmel AVR as the primary microcontroller. The book provides comprehensive examples of sensor, actuator and control applications and circuits, along with source code for a number of projects. It walks the reader through the process of setting up the Linux-based controller, from creating a custom kernel to customizing the BIOS, to implementing graphical control interfaces.

You'll find detailed design information on:

E2BUS PC-host interface
host-to-module communications protocol
a speed-controlled DC motor with tach feedback and thermal cut-off
a stepper motor controller
a two-axis attitude sensor using a MEMS accelerometer
infrared remote control in Linux using LIRC
machine vision using Video4Linux

The accompanying CD-ROM contains a wealth of design materials, including:

full schematics and source code for the projects described
ready-made disk images for the miniature Linux distribution used as the basis for the PC-side software
distribution archives of source code for all GNU software used, along with application-specific patches where appropriate
a free version of the schematic capture and PCS CAD software used
Atmel AVR Studio®
