Abstract

This project describes the control of a Remote Control Car (RCC) using the Graphical User Interface (GUI) that has been developed using the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) dialog-based. The platform in developing the GUI is Visual C++ 6.0 (VC++). The idea of the project is for the GUI to send the input to the Integration Board (IB) which consists ofthe Programmable Intelligent Computer (PIC). The output on the PIC will then activate the signal from the Radio Frequency (RF) controller to move the RCC. During the design and development process, several problems have been encountered thus giving a large obstacle in completing the project. These problems being identify during the two tests that has been conducted after the project has been fabricates. The first test shows the integration of the IB and the RF controller in giving out signals. The result shows that the integration between two boards is working as planned. However, on the second test, there is a problem that has been encountered from the aspect of the PIC source code. The PIC did not manage to compare the value given from the GUI in order to gives signals to appropriate port. Several attempts in solving the problem have been done but the result still the same. The problem did not manage to be solved thus failing the integration between the GUI and the lB. In the end, the project only manages to achieve two out of three objectives. Nevertheless, apart from the PIC source code problem, the GUI functions perfectly, from the serial connection coding to the data transfer coding. On the electronics side, the integration of the IB and the RF controller is a success. The RF controller is able to emit the frequency to the RCC according to the output given from the IB. This project basically gives quite a challenge as it mainly focusing on the aspect of programming where the programming has to be done in two parts; the GUI and the PIC.
