Proposed Product Summary Selected Product Remote Controlled Car Entertainment Details Miniature toy replica of a car, controlled remotely. Primary use of product is for entertainment and educational purposes. With proximity sensors, user is less likely to break product by running it into a wall. Yes there are similar products, but not identical due to fact of added damage protection and intended future use. Major industry family the product belongs to is consumer toys.
Project Selection Overall Selection Process The remote controlled car project provided more challenges and involved more complex aspects than the other projects. Major risks involve making sure all of our components work together well. Because our product contains moving parts, it is important that they work according to our specifications because safety concerns. Our other projects were rejected because they did not have enough blocks in the diagrams to satisfy our electronic requirements. This project was unanimously supported by all five members of our group.

Ethics Considerations Since this is an entertainment product, the group did not see much room for conflicts of interest, bribery, and kickbacks. Safety can be an issue though; since children could play with the car, we’d have to make sure that the moveable parts are safe. While driving the car, someone could be hit, which could cause potential injury. To mitigate this, we need to make sure our proximity sensor switch works effectively. Legally, our remote controlled car could have problems if it is not differentiated enough from other cars in the market. Since remote controlled cars have been being manufactured for years, the idea is probably in the public domain. To stray from this, we will be using a remote controlled car of a larger size. Environmentally, the group doesn’t see any major considerations that must be made. We could try to find a more efficient power source, since batteries must be thrown away or recharged. Also, we could use more environmentally friendly solder and materials to minimize the effects of lead and other hazardous materials found in many components.

Block 2: PWM Controller/Micro-ProcessorOwner: Jordan Acevedo
Block 2: PWM Controller/Micro-ProcessorDescription and Purpose The PWM Controller will receive a digital pulse transmitted from remote control and the width of the pulse will determine the desired speed of the car and the width of another pulse will determine the driving direction of the car (forward/reverse). Purpose: Control the speed and direction of the car.

Block 2: PWM Controller/Micro-ProcessorBlock Signal Definitions
As the user presses forward on the remote control, the remote transmits pulses to the receiver. The width of two of these pulses will determine the speed and driving direction of the car. As the control stick on the remote is pressed further, the width of the pulses increases and the car will move faster in the desired direction. If the IR Proximity Sensors are tripped “ON”, the car will no longer be able to drive forward, when the sensors are “OFF” and then full operation will be restored. Block 2: PWM Controller/Micro-ProcessorTheory of Operation
Block 3: BlinkersOwner: Ben Reider Description - To receive and interpret a RF signal from controller and output a pulse that blinks either the right or left side blinkers on the car. Purpose – An accessory used to indicate which direction the car turn.

Block 4: Proximity SensorTheory of Operation Proximity switch receives input voltage and current from power supply via the microprocessor Sensor measures distance to nearby object If object is close enough to trigger the sensor “ON”, an interrupt will be sent through the microprocessor to the motor disabling the car’s forward position movement Vehicle will be allowed to move in reverse direction until proximity sensor is switched “OFF”, and the car will then be allowed to move forward
Block 4: Proximity SensorDescription and Purpose Sensor used for measuring distance from the car to nearby objects and sending a signal to the motor via the microprocessor to shut off if it gets too close to the object. Car will then only be allowed to move in reverse until it is a safe distance away from the object and will then be allowed to move forward. Operation is used for safety concerns
