Design and Construction of a Wireless Remotely Controlled Video Capturing Vehicle
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Engineering and Technology - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
The Video Capturing Vehicle (VCV) is a wireless remotely controlled video capturing device with ground mobility and a simulated flight control. This project focused on designing and building the video capturing vehicle’s motherboard and its remote control device. The video capturing vehicle’s motherboard consists of a microcontroller (PIC16F84A)to decode, interpret, and execute control signals; motors (dc and stepper) and a mechanical system, for movement and direction control; an IP camera, for capturing the video feeds; and a FM receiver module, for data and control signal reception. The remote control system consists of a computer system (with the Microsoft Windows operating system installed and a built-in WLAN adapter) and the built USB interfaced control device. Computer program software was developed for the computer system to capture video feed and send control signals to the USB control device. The control device uses the PIC18F2550 microcontroller to encode received control signals and modulates a FM transmitter module, which sends the VCV control signals via radio-link. The video capturing vehicle can be used for several purposes like surveillance (for security reasons), viewing of human inaccessible area, experimentation (monitoring a health hazardous experiment remotely), among others.
