Networking 8-Bit Embedded Controllers, Using The Controller Area Network Method, Brett Wilkinson
Theses : Honours
The initial aim of this project was to create an ethernet (IEEE 802.3) Communications System. The system was to connect Embedded controllers to facilitate the operation of a real time operation. After extensive investigation and scheduled meetings with industry, it became apparent that a superior communication system for this type of task lay in the Controller Area Network (CAN) standard. Communications Networks are extremely susceptible to volatile surroundings. A vital controller network necessitates that its communication network be invulnerable to high noise levels. It is also imperative that critical messages from one controller reach their destination on time. CAN was …

Data Logging Multiple Aviation Sensors Using A Motorala [Sic] Hc11 Microcontroller, Andrew James Wooding
Theses : Honours
This project is part of the research and development of a microprocessor based integrated instrumentation system for light aircraft. It involves interfacing a Motorola HC 11 microcontroller with several sensor inputs. The project system is designed to data log battery voltage, cylinder head temperature, ambient temperature and engine RPM.
