Project Description Heading link

Our project will be a wireless remote controlled wagon that will have three subsystems attached to it. The first subsystem will control the wagon, the second detects force, and the third detects proximity. There will also be an LCD display attached to the wagon to output its state. The subsystem that controls the wagon will have a remote control as the input, and its output will be the wagon’s movement. The force detection subsystem will detect the weight of the load in force, using force resistors as an input. It’s output will make the wagon unable to move and will state that there is too much weight onto the LCD. The proximity sensing subsystem will input objects that are sensed to be in front of the wagon, with an ultrasonic sensor as the input device. If there is an obstacle, then the wagon will be unable to move forward to avoid crashing, and there will be a beeping noise, and the LCD will state that there is an object in front of it.
