Abstract

The design of rover control system using high performance technology has become an interesting area of research. The common hardware design for (2n+2, 0 les n les 3) wheels mobile rover is implemented in this paper. The hardware design consists of an electrical board with Flex FPGA, EPROM memory and digital signal processing TMS230LF2407 DSP. Our project is used to control a group of rovers having 2 or 4 or 6 or 8 wheels rover, that means the same electrical board can control 2, 4, 6 and 8 wheels rover in common control system. The software design is also implemented using VHDL for FPGA and C Language for communication between computer and the rover.
