[edit] About the Low Level Software:

The goal of the low level software is to interact directly with hardware and provide a communication interface between the electrical components and the high level software. This is the micro-controller component of the Messenger which interacts with the Field Commander messenger component on the embedded computer over USB RS-232.

For the 2009 competition we will use the MRM 1.2 from Robominds with the mounted MC68332 micro-controller. We decided on this board based on it's UART capabilities as well as it's software libraries package available for use with it.

All of the low level software running on the micro-controllers is written in C and compiled with a specific MC68332 compiler.

[edit] Sub Projects:

• Messenger - Micro-controller/Embedded computer communication
• Serial Communication - Allows communication over UART to hardware components
• Storage Queue - Used in Serial Communication
• Error Logging - Low level error handliing
