Project 5a: Remote Communication

I n order to perform research on the vehicles while they are in operating condition, a feedback system would be required to display, interpret and correct incoming information in real-time. The system should:

· Format, encode, transmit and decode commands and system information;

· Have priority communication for Kill and Navigation commands.

Goals:

· Assess present-world solutions for Remotely-Operated Vehicle and Telemetry technology;

· Design a remote interface capable of displaying real-time information;

· Demonstrate Emergency and Priority commands.
