communicate with. The final board design is the tested perf
board design and will be housed in a box. We tested the
received right commands of the blimp by using a LED light
display corresponding to different commands received by
the transmitter. We send these command using hyperterminal
with the connected UART to USB module. Then we moved
onto adding the serial communication to the C# GUI and
tested the commands on button pushes of the GUI.
Full deployment of the blimp in the air is being tested,
but there are still some problems with the integration on the
ground without the floating envelope. Once all the ground
test are completed and tested to our satisfaction we will begin
all the user control test in the air and test out the features
we implemented with the GUI to communicate to the blimp.
We will also test out what will happen on transmission loss
and hopefully the balloon won’t float away while we are
debugging those problems.
V. CONCLUSION
Our project design was a fun project in which we got to
fly a remote controlled blimp and spy on people from above.
Our surveillance blimp’s aim was for an alternative way of
personal security while introducing cool features such as the
tracking through the visions algorithms provided in OpenCV,
and patrolling through GPS coordinates on the microcontroller
for automatic flight using sensor data. Trying to smooth out
the motor controls was a difficult process and we feel like
there is much more progress to be done in the smoothing out
of the controls for the users. We gain many new experiences
in working as a group and researching new topics and this
project is only the starting point in our future own personal
hobby projects.
