Design and Implementation of a USB-to-CAN Bridge

Posted: 10 Nov 2009 05:43 PM PST

This thesis details the design and implementation of a USB to CAN Bridge for use in the GuRoo, the walking robot project.GuRoo requires information to be sent from the main controlling unit, an iPAQ, to joint controller boards located in various parts of the robot.The design presented in this thesis modifies one of the controller boards to act as a link between the iPAQ and the remaining controllers. iPAQ's Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface has been utilised to communicate via the bridging board to a Controller Area Network (CAN) linking the controller boards. Half duplex communication needs to be implemented to allow of passing commands from the iPAQ as well as transmitting status information from the controller boards.
