2.3 Control Principle

• Program Flow Chart

Control Principle:

PID Control

PID control is a commonly used closed-loop control algorithm that continuously adjusts the controller output to minimize the error between the system's actual output and expected output.

Communication Protocol:

When k230 recognizes the QR code, it will send a data frame via serial port with the following format

Microcontroller part:

Receive data sent by k230 via serial port and process each byte of data. Extract valid data from the data frame content and store it in an array. Then perform PID processing on the array data, and the microcontroller drives the motors based on the processed data to move.

Parse the received protocol-compliant data to obtain the function ID number and data information in the data, and execute the corresponding function processing function. This project uses a metadata parsing method. The core idea is to separate the protocol format description (field position, type, etc.) from the parsing logic, define the protocol format through data structures (such as struct arrays), and the parsing function automatically processes data according to these descriptions.

Different types of data contained in the protocol can also be parsed. If you want to understand the implementation details, you can study it yourself. No excessive explanation will be provided. This function has been adapted to all K230 communication protocols in our store. You don't need to fully understand it to use it normally.

QRCode_Action：When the recognized QR code content is "FORWARD", move forward for two seconds; when recognized as "BACKWARD", move backward for two seconds; "LEFT" for turn left for two seconds; "RIGHT" for turn right for two seconds; "ROTATE LEFT" for rotate left for two seconds; "ROTATE RIGHT" for rotate right for two seconds.

4. Experimental Operation

1. Wire according to the hardware wiring instructions in the tutorial.
2. Open the project used by MSPM0G3507, then compile and burn, finally reset or power on again.
3. Place QRCode_Action.py in the root directory of K230's SD card and rename it to main.py, then reset or power on again. If you are not clear about how to burn programs into K230, please first check the K230 Vision Module tutorial's [Quick Start] chapter.
4. Place the car in an open area, then place the QR code in front of the car, adjust the K230 module bracket to a suitable angle, and connect the power.
5. When K230 initialization is successful, it will start recognizing the content in the QR code. Then press the car reset button, wait for three seconds, and the car will start moving according to the recognized QR code.

5. Experimental Phenomena

Turn on the power switch, wait for system initialization to complete, the screen will display the camera image, then recognize the QR code and print the recognized QR code content on the screen. If the content matches the preset content in the QRCode_Action function, the corresponding action will be performed.
