2018Position tracking of an ultra small aircraftSummerProjectGustavo Vechin de MatosState University of Campinas (UNICAMP),
Campinas, São Paulo,
Brazil
This article deals with cameras and image processing for attitude determination to be used to measure altitudes, distance and orientation. We are describing principles of optical technologies from simple cameras, multiple spectrum images data processing and Time-of-Flight technologies. The principles of international space station distance measurement, horizon detection methods and object tracking are described. The article finally aims at the passive principles of measurements of an ultra small airplane in space in order to determine its position, speed and orientation angles in time for evaluation of the airplane profile at low Reynolds numbers. The ultra small airplanes can not be measured in wind tunnels due to the insufficient precision of the measurement system built in the wind tunnel. The current state of the art uses measurement of the flight time of the ultra small plane with different settings of the air surfaces. This approach allows for determination of multiple parameters from the recording acquired during a test flight which is unique.

Gasparetto Farris
UNIVERSIDADE ESTADUAL DE CAMPINAS,
Brazil
Mr. Farris worked on a project titled “Small Satellite Platform” which dealt with sensor data acquisition, processing and control of a satellite platform intended to illustrate sensor processing and spacecraft stabilization principles. He assembled one stabilized platform where he completed interconnection of internal electronics circuits and designed one new circuit for optical speed sensor data processing. The electronic sub-system includes a CPU board, a 9DOF sensor board, a WiFi communication module, and an engine driver connected through wire harnesses. Additionally, he prepared one extra task description for our students which will be used for laboratory exercises. The task illustrates principles of pressure measurement for altitude determination in aerospace technology. Lucas spent a lot of time working on Matlab scripts and documentation of his work which we hope will be published in Transaction on Education journal. Results related to automatic magnetometer calibration in order to get data for successful 2D navigation of the platform which are used for spacecraft stabilization will be published in the article together with comparison of different control algorithm outputs. The control algorithms we measured on the existing platforms and also on the one which Lucas assembled.

Mr. Matrone worked on the project titled “Small Satellite Platform Control” which deals with data acquisition, processing and control of a satellite platform intended to illustrate spacecraft stabilization principles. His main task was to improve the existing electronic system and platform controller design. At the beginning of Mr. Matrone’s work, the platform was in a development phase, it was necessary to finalize different PCBs for interconnection of sensors and actuators. The existing controller lacked its expected performance and so the second part of the task was supposed to be aimed on the platform stabilization in one axe with help of magnetometer, camera and angular rate sensors.

Mango Mendes Filho
École Nationale des Techniques Avancées
– ENSTA ParisTech,
France
Mr. Filho worked on a project titled “Visualization of 3D Motion Capture Sensor Network” which dealt with data acquisition, filtering and processing of a set of remote controlled units containing inertial reference sensors arranged as a system capable to record human body motion. During the time he spent with us, he assembled four measurement units containing a central CPU board, the Wi-Fi module for data exchange, LED lights for optical position tracking and a sensor board with accelerometers, angular rate sensors, a magnetometer, and a pressure sensor. He wirelessly connected the units to the computer and designed a software layer which transfers data from all of the sensors to a user application which visualizes them by OpenGL 3D graphical library. The graphical frontend of the application shows a 3D skeleton which repeats the human body movements captured by the set of the designed units. The raw data from the sensors flows through a special software layer which calibrates them and then the raw data are used for determination of the orientation angles (pitch, roll, and heading) of the each unit. To perform this task, Jose performed intensive literature research about sensor parameters, calibration, data processing, inertial data fusion algorithms, Kalman filtering, etc. and after then he was able to use the knowledge in his programs. José also wrote an Android application which allows to connect an Android phone into the motion capture system and to extend the set of sensor units by its data. Finally, he tested all the data acquisition, calibration and filtering software by visualization of human body movements using the virtual 3D skeleton.

Pizzol Busato
UNIVERSIDADE ESTADUAL DE CAMPINAS,
Brazil
Ms. Busato worked on the project titled “Small Satellite Platform Control” which deals with data acquisition, processing and control of a satellite platform intended to illustrate spacecraft stabilization principles. During the time she spent with us, she assembled three simplified platforms containing the important electronic components of the Small Satellite Platform (SSP). They include the CPU board which is the central core of the entire SSP, the Wi-Fi module used for communication with a ground station, LEDs for the Star Tracker System and a sensor board with accelerometers, angular speed sensors, a magnetometer, and a pressure sensor. The simplified models are used to introduce the SSP’s main features, communication, and data processing to students and allow us to increase the number of students participating in the course. She performed calibration of magnetometers of all simplified models and also all the SSPs using a Matlab script that she wrote to automate the process. With the knowledge gained about performance of magnetometers and the SSP Star Tracker System, the student was able to track the position of the SSP while it was hanged on a tether. With help of the SSP actuators, Ariela identified the mathematical model of the system based on the step response characteristics. She used the model to design a digital controller which was able to stabilize the platform in one dimension - heading. Ariela tested multiple approaches for controller design including Discrete-time Root Locus and she implemented the final controller in a Matlab script. The controller works with either the Star Tracker System or the magnetometer data on its input and it was tested on all of the platforms available. As the speed of the wheel used to control the heading could eventually increase or decrease too much, outside of the useful range, she also developed a speed compensator maintaining a proper working point (reaction wheel offloading algorithm) using the second wheel. Finally, she designed a task for students attending the university course that summarizes the procedure of controller design and leads students to a proper SSP heading digital control implementation.

WinterProjectJuan Alberto Cabrera
Guerrero
UNIVERSIDAD SIMÓN BOLÍVAR,
Venezuela
Mr. Cabrera worked on the project titled “Evaluation of Analogue and Digital Sun Sensor Parameters”. During the time he spent with us he assembled about five prototypes of an analogue sun-sensor which is based on mechanical arrangement of two solar cells differentially connected and lighted by a sunbeam crossing a mechanical slit. The mechanical composition was especially difficult because the student used solar cells which were difficult to connect with the rest of the system. Mr. Cabrera destroyed a lot of solar cells but at the end he invented a method how to repeatedly assemble the sun-sensor elements. He designed a mechanical shutter which was used to measure performance of the sun sensors with different shutter setting. The student was able to learn and use remotely controlled laboratory instruments with which he designed an Automated Test Setup that was used to measure characteristics of the proposed sensors. Finally, Juan measured multiple sets of characteristics of three sensor elements with proposed improved linearity of the transfer characteristics. These measurements differed in slit width, slit distance from the sensor element and shape of the solar cell correction cover in comparison with commonly used triangle shape. All of the measurements were acquired from Matlab environment and all the sensor characterization was performed by MS Excell. While dealing with this comprehensive task, Juan was also preparing his master thesis that summarizes his accomplishments.

2008Visualisation of ARINC 429
Datagram
WinterProjectRubén Soler EscodaUniversidad Politechnica de ValenciaConsists of some theory about the most used avionic bus ARINC429. The data words are coded into a 32 bit word and the program visualisation ARINC429 datagram allows the configuration of each bit. Work up the following items to fulfil the assignment:
1. Create one dialog and implement this version of the MsgSendRec.exe, which will cooperate
with the MsgSendRec.exe through a button, in the same functionality. Use CSpy++.
2. Use a CPen class to set up a drawing pen. Then use this pen to draw a wave, limits and parts of the word. Create a font structure.
3. Create a EditBox to enter the number and one button to sent it. It will repainted the wave according to new number converting it by StrToInt. Make you dialog resizable and adjust you painting class to the actual size of main dialog.
4. Introduce press detection in the picture to change directly the wave pressing.
5. Visualisation the number of the wave sent in the correct position and divided in each part. It has to allow choose between Binary or BCD format with a ratio button.
