FPGA Ultrasonic Sensor Integration & Tracking - 07/04/2024 15:29 EDT

I am looking to integrate two ultrasonic sensors onto a Nexys A7 FPGA board using VHDL. My primary goal is using these sensors for object tracking and distance measurement. Integrate TWO HCSR-04 ultrasonic sensors to an Nexys A7 fpga board so that I can read data from both sensors. I need for the seven-segment display that is on the board to show the distances measured. Using a pushbutton on the board, have the display change to show readings from sensor 1 and when pushed the display shows readings from sensor 2 and vice versa. So basically, the pushbutton toggles which sensor's measurement is displayed on the seven segment display. Also, another push button will be used to toggle back and forth between displaying the distance in centimeters (cm) or inches (in) for both sensors. Next, if the distance from either sensor is less than 10 cm or 3 inches than output a sound using the AUDIO OUT on the board. Have two different sounds, one for each sensor. For example if sensor1 is low reading than play a low pitch sound and for sensor 2 a high pitch sound. If not possible than use a buzzer. Lastly have the LEDs on the board light up or turn off with respect to the distance measured. So for example if sensor 1 is being displayed then as the object gets closer to the sensor have more LEDs light up and as it gets farther away have LEDs turn off and do the same for both sensors. Primary Tasks: • Data processing functionality to handle outputs from two ultrasonic sensors. • Communication interface using VHDL to create a connection between the FPGA board and sensors. • Develop a control system to process inputs from the sensors and provide outputs related to distance measurement and object tracking. Ideal skills and experience required: • Familiarity with VHDL for programing FPGA boards. • Experience integrating ultrasonic sensors. • Proven ability to design control systems for object tracking and distance measurement applications. • Extensive experience with Nexys A7 FPGA boards.
