Welcome

Welcome to the Team 1 VANT 151 Capstone Project Wiki This page shows the work of our team for the design project. It includes our project goals, team requirements, task planning, design phase and final outcomes.

Team 1 was operating as multiple sub-teams. The individual sub-teams were each assigned to work on a different part of the vehicle system. This included coding, electrical, mechanical, structural and documentation work. Everyone focused on their part and then all the parts were put together to one final project.

This wiki also demonstrates how our team planned the project, divided the tasks, followed the schedule, and documented our progress. This assists the reader in understanding the work of each sub-team and the evolution of the whole project.

Introduction

The VANT 151 project was a multi-discipline engineering design project. Team 1 was tasked with designing and presenting a vehicle system that includes a range of engineering elements. The project was split in many areas, so the work was distributed in different sub-teams like Coding, Electrical, Mechanical, Structural and Documentation.

The control systems sub-team worked on the code for the transmitter and receiver, the joystick and the buttons, switches and their connections . The Electrical sub-team was in charge of the vehicle’s electronic system including the vehicle board, wiring, fan control, Peltier module circuit and other electrical parts. The Mechanical sub-team worked on the drive train, steering system, suspension and power transmission. The frame, enclosure, panels, transparent parts and doors were the responsibility of the Structural sub-team. The Documentation sub-team assisted Team 1 in producing the final wiki and presentation. We have set up the basic wiki framework, created the Gantt chart, tracked the project schedule and gathered information from each sub-team.


Communication was important in the project because many parts were connected. For instance, the mechanical design impacted the structure, the electrical system had to be housed inside the vehicle, and the coding system was needed to control the functions of the vehicle. So each sub team had to keep each other informed and change things if necessary. This wiki describes the main requirements of Team 1, design work, team progress, drawings and final results.

Team Requirements

Functions

The vehicle’s main functions are to:

1 Move forward and backwards at user’s command.

2 Steering system for steering left and right.

3 Receiving wireless control signals from the transmitter.

4 A stable structure is required to support the vehicle body, rider area and internal elements.

Objectives

The goals of this project are to enhance the final vehicle design by:

1 Build a working vehicle system, including coding, electric, mechanical and structural parts.

2 Ensure that the control system, drive system, electrical system and structure are compatible.

3 It is a simple compact design, safe and suitable for the prototype.

4 Final design presentation through team wiki, drawings, Gantt chart, and oral presentation.

Constrains

The constraints of the project are

1 The project needs to be finished within the timeframe of the VANT 151 course.

2 The vehicle has to make use of parts, materials and tools which are available in the course.

3 The electrical system must meet the allowable power range, which is 9.6 V DC and 2.8 A.

4 Each team member should be familiar with their own part and be able to explain it during the oral presentation.

Coding

Overview of the Arduino Code

The Coding sub-team was responsible for the remote-control software and the software interface between the transmitter, vehicle receiver, and dashboard. The system uses three Arduino Nano boards. The first Nano is inside the handheld transmitter. The second Nano is mounted on the vehicle as the receiver. The third Nano is connected to a laptop by USB and works as a radio bridge for the dashboard.

The transmitter reads the joystick and button inputs, then sends a command packet through an nRF24L01 radio module. The receiver reads this command packet and controls the steering servo, drive motor PWM, Peltier module, fan, lights, and buzzer. The receiver also reads the cabin temperature and humidity sensor. The third Nano listens for dashboard telemetry from the receiver and sends the data to a browser dashboard on the laptop.

Table 1. Coding files used in the final design
File Board Purpose
TXCODE.ino Transmitter Arduino Nano Reads the joystick, Peltier button, buzzer button, and light button, then transmits the RC command packet.
RXCODE.ino Vehicle receiver Arduino Nano Receives RC commands, applies vehicle outputs, reads temperature and humidity, sends dashboard telemetry, and enters failsafe when signal is lost.
DASHBOARD_BRIDGE.ino Third Arduino Nano connected to laptop Receives telemetry packets and prints them as JSON through USB Serial. It also forwards safe buzzer-tone settings from the dashboard to the receiver.
dashboard.html Laptop browser Displays the live dashboard with cabin temperature, humidity, Peltier mode, fan state, lights, motor PWM, steering, failsafe, packet count, and buzzer tone.

Requirements

Functions

The Coding sub-team design must:

  1. Read user inputs from the RC transmitter, including joystick movement, Peltier mode selection, buzzer input, and the extra light button.
  2. Send wireless command packets from the transmitter to the vehicle receiver using nRF24L01 radio modules.
  3. Convert valid receiver packets into vehicle outputs, including steering servo position, drive motor PWM, Peltier mode, fan state, lights, buzzer sound, dashboard telemetry, and failsafe shutdown.

Objectives

The main design objectives are:

  1. Make the RC control responsive and predictable so the vehicle can be tested and driven reliably.
  2. Make the code easy to debug and demonstrate by including Serial output, live dashboard telemetry, temperature and humidity readings, adjustable buzzer tone, and signal-loss failsafe behavior.

Constraints

The Coding design must work within these constraints:

  1. The transmitter and receiver must use the available Arduino Nano pins, nRF24L01 modules, joystick, buttons, switches, sensor, and output hardware.
  2. The software must match the Electrical, Mechanical, Structural, and Thermal sub-team designs because the code depends on the actual motor driver, steering actuator, Peltier circuit, fan wiring, light wiring, and dashboard sensor placement.
  3. The receiver must return to a safe state if radio communication is lost, so the motor does not continue running without a valid command signal.

The Design

System Architecture

The final coding system has three wireless roles. The transmitter sends driver commands to the receiver. The receiver controls the vehicle and sends telemetry data to the third Nano. The third Nano connects to the laptop by USB and allows the dashboard to show live data.

Table 2. Wireless communication roles
Device Radio role Main data sent or received
Transmitter Nano Command sender Sends joystick X/Y, Peltier mode, buzzer command, fan command, and light command.
Vehicle receiver Nano Command receiver and telemetry sender Receives RC commands, controls outputs, reads sensors, and sends telemetry to the dashboard bridge.
Dashboard bridge Nano Telemetry receiver and safe config sender Receives vehicle telemetry and sends buzzer-tone settings from the laptop dashboard.

Transmitter Hardware

The transmitter is a rectangular controller box with one joystick, three buttons, one power switch, and one LED to show whether the controller is on. The physical box and mounting layout are part of the controller hardware design, while the Coding sub-team is responsible for reading the inputs and sending the correct command packet.

Table 3. Transmitter inputs
Input Arduino pin Coding function
Joystick X-axis A0 Controls steering. The receiver maps this value to the steering servo pulse.
Joystick Y-axis A1 Controls drive motor speed. The receiver calibrates the center value, applies a deadzone, and maps joystick travel to PWM.
Button 1 D2 Cycles the Peltier module through OFF, COLD, HEAT, then back to OFF.
Button 2 D3 Activates the buzzer while the button is held.
Button 3 D4 Toggles the vehicle lights on and off. This was chosen as the extra button feature because it is simple, visible, and useful during the conference demonstration.
Power switch Hardware power path Turns the transmitter on and off.
Power LED Power indicator circuit Shows when the controller is powered.

Vehicle Receiver Hardware

The receiver Arduino Nano is mounted on the vehicle and converts wireless commands into physical outputs. It controls the steering servo, motor driver, Peltier module, fan driver, lights, and buzzer. It also reads the temperature and humidity sensor inside the vehicle cabin.

Figure 4. Temperature and humidity sensor placement inside the vehicle cabin.
Table 4. Receiver outputs and sensor inputs
Part Arduino pin Purpose
Steering servo signal D3 Controls steering position using joystick X.
Motor PWM D5 Controls drive motor speed using joystick Y.
Peltier enable D4 Turns the Peltier circuit on or off.
Peltier mode control D2 Selects cold or heat mode through the Peltier relay/control circuit.
Fan driver D6 Turns the fan on when the Peltier mode is active.
Lights D7 Turns the vehicle lights on or off using transmitter Button 3.
Buzzer D8 Plays a tone while the buzzer button is held. The tone frequency can be adjusted from the dashboard.
DHT temperature/humidity sensor A0 Measures cabin temperature and humidity for the dashboard.

Dashboard Bridge and Landing Page

The dashboard feature uses a third Arduino Nano connected to the laptop by USB. This avoids needing an ESP32 or Bluetooth module. The third Nano has its own nRF24L01 radio and receives telemetry packets from the vehicle receiver. It then prints the data to the laptop as JSON through USB Serial. A browser dashboard reads this serial data and displays it as a live landing page.

The dashboard is not a public internet website. It is a local landing page opened on the laptop during testing or the conference. It can show live data in a browser while still keeping the RC transmitter responsible for vehicle movement.

Command and Telemetry Packets

The transmitter and receiver use the same command packet structure so both Arduinos interpret the radio message correctly.

Table 6. Command packet fields
Field Meaning
x Joystick X value for steering.
y Joystick Y value for motor speed.
peltierMode 0 = OFF, 1 = COLD, 2 = HEAT.
buzzerActive 1 when the buzzer button is held, otherwise 0.
fanActive 1 when the Peltier mode is active, otherwise 0.
lightsActive 1 when the lights are on, otherwise 0.

The receiver sends a second packet type to the dashboard bridge. This packet includes the sensor values and the current output state of the vehicle.

Table 7. Telemetry packet fields
Field Meaning
temperatureC Cabin temperature in degrees Celsius.
humidity Cabin relative humidity.
peltierMode Current Peltier mode applied by the receiver.
fanActive Current fan command.
lightsActive Current light command.
motorPWM Motor PWM value from 0 to 255.
servoPulse Steering servo pulse in microseconds.
failsafe Shows whether signal-loss failsafe is active.
signalAgeMs Time since the receiver last received a valid command packet.
packetCount Number of command packets received by the receiver.
buzzerToneHz Current buzzer tone frequency.

Operating Sequence

  1. The user turns on the transmitter using the power switch. The power LED turns on.
  2. The transmitter initializes the joystick, buttons, Serial output, and nRF24L01 radio module.
  3. The transmitter repeatedly reads the joystick and buttons.
  4. If Button 1 is pressed, the transmitter cycles the Peltier mode through OFF, COLD, HEAT, and OFF again.
  5. If Button 2 is held, the transmitter sends the buzzer-active command.
  6. If Button 3 is pressed, the transmitter toggles the light command.
  7. The transmitter sends a command packet to the receiver about every 50 ms.
  8. The receiver reads valid command packets and updates the last-received time.
  9. The receiver maps joystick X to the steering servo and joystick Y to motor PWM after joystick center calibration.
  10. The receiver applies Peltier, fan, light, and buzzer outputs.
  11. The receiver reads the DHT temperature/humidity sensor approximately every 2 seconds.
  12. The receiver sends a telemetry packet to the third Nano about every 250 ms.
  13. The third Nano sends the telemetry data to the laptop dashboard as JSON over USB.
  14. The dashboard displays live values and can send a safe buzzer-tone setting back to the receiver.
  15. If the receiver does not receive a command packet for more than 1000 ms, it enters failsafe by centering steering, stopping the motor, turning off the Peltier, turning off the fan, turning off the buzzer, and turning off the lights.

Program Flowchart

The program flowchart should be uploaded as an image in this section. Mermaid is useful for generating the diagram, but UBC Wiki may not render Mermaid directly. The recommended method is to render the Mermaid flowchart as a PNG or SVG, upload it to UBC Wiki, and place it below as Figure 7.

Figure 7. Final Coding program flowchart for transmitter, vehicle receiver, third Nano bridge, and dashboard.

Extra Features

The extra feature selected for the third transmitter button is vehicle lights. This was chosen because lights are easy to test, easy to show visually, and listed as a common extra feature for the project. The light output is controlled from transmitter Button 3 and displayed on the dashboard.

The second extra feature is the laptop dashboard. Instead of adding an ESP32 or Bluetooth module, the design uses a third Arduino Nano as a USB radio bridge. This allows the team to show live vehicle data on a browser page while using the same nRF24L01 radio system already used for RC communication.

Table 8. Extra features
Extra feature Description Status
Vehicle lights Button 3 on the transmitter toggles a light output on the vehicle receiver. Implemented in code; needs final light wiring.
Live dashboard A browser dashboard displays temperature, humidity, Peltier mode, fan, lights, motor PWM, steering, failsafe, packet count, and buzzer tone. Implemented as local laptop dashboard using a third Arduino Nano bridge.
Adjustable buzzer tone The dashboard can send a safe buzzer-tone frequency to the receiver. Implemented in code; works best with a passive buzzer.
Temperature and humidity sensing A DHT sensor measures cabin environment data near the rider/mannequin. Implemented in code; sensor must be mounted and wired.

Other possible uses for the extra transmitter button were considered, such as a horn toggle, dashboard marker, manual fan override, or joystick recalibration button. Lights were selected because they have the best balance of simplicity, safety, and demonstration value.

Current Testing Status

At the current stage, the code supports radio command packets, joystick control, Peltier mode cycling, fan command, light toggle, buzzer command, DHT temperature and humidity readings, dashboard telemetry, adjustable buzzer tone, and signal-loss failsafe. Final testing should confirm that the radio modules remain stable when all three Nanos are powered, that the receiver enters failsafe correctly, and that the dashboard updates reliably while the vehicle is running.

Table 9. Testing checklist
Test Expected result
Transmitter joystick test Dashboard and receiver Serial output show changing X/Y values.
Peltier button test Mode cycles through OFF, COLD, HEAT, and OFF.
Buzzer button test Buzzer plays only while the button is held.
Light button test Vehicle lights toggle on and off.
DHT sensor test Dashboard displays cabin temperature and humidity.
Dashboard bridge test Browser dashboard receives live telemetry from the third Nano.
Failsafe test Turning off the transmitter causes the receiver to stop the motor and turn off unsafe outputs.

Recommendations

  1. Use a 10 uF to 47 uF capacitor across the VCC and GND pins of each nRF24L01 module to reduce radio power problems.
  2. Keep the nRF24L01 wires short and power the module from 3.3 V only.
  3. Test the DHT sensor before final mounting because incorrect sensor type selection can cause blank temperature and humidity readings.
  4. Use a passive buzzer if adjustable tones are needed, because active buzzers may ignore frequency changes.
  5. Keep the dashboard control limited to safe accessory settings, such as buzzer tone. Driving and steering should remain controlled by the transmitter.


Mechanical Design

The mechanical sub-system includes the front suspension, drive train, and steering system . These components work together to improve vehicle movement, stability, turning control, and structural support. The main goal is to keep the design simple, compact, easy to assemble, and reliable for the prototype.

Requirements

Functions

  1. Front suspension: Absorb shocks and vibrations from the ground, keep the front wheels in contact with the ground and improve stability, and control during movement.
  2. Drive train: Transfer power from the motor to the wheels, control the vehicle’s speed and movement, and provide enough torque for the vehicle to move smoothly.
  3. Steering: Allow the vehicle to change direction, connect the steering input to the front wheels, and improve turning accuracy and control.

Objectives

  1. Front suspension: Allow the front suspension to change its angle during cornering, improve vehicle balance while turning, and reduce shocks when moving on rough surfaces.
  2. Drive train: Increase vehicle speed using a gear system, keep the system compact and easy to assemble, and provide smooth power transfer to the wheels.
  3. Steering: Keep the steering system as simple as possible, achieve a turning radius suitable for the prototype, and ensure easy control during movement.

Constraints

  1. Limited project time: Busy academic schedules and only one prototype working day per week limit the time available for building, testing, and improving the mechanical sub-system.
  2. 3D printing accuracy: Small 3D-printed parts may have lower accuracy, which can affect fitting, alignment, and the movement of components.
  3. Limited team members: Each sub-team has only about two members on average, creating a higher workload and requiring the design to be simple, practical, and easy to manufacture.

The Design

Front Suspension

We generated three front suspension designs as shown below:

Table 1. Front suspension design
Design 1 Design 2 Design 3

We used a weighted decision matrix to compare the three designs.

Table 2. Weighted decision matrix for selection of front suspension
Weight Design 1 Design 2 Design 3
Simplicity 30% 2 5 4
Durability 30% 3 5 4
Flexibility 40% 5 0 5
Total 3.5 3.0 4.4

Decision: Design 3 was selected because it provides the best overall balance of simplicity, durability, and flexibility. Although Design 2 is the simplest and most durable, it has no flexibility, which significantly lowers its overall score. Design 1 offers high flexibility, but its more complex linkage system makes it less simple and potentially less durable than Design 3. Therefore, Design 3 is the strongest option for the final prototype.

3D Assembly of the Steering Components

Steering

Table 3. 2D drawings of the main components of the steering system
Handlebar Head Steering column
The handlebar acts as the main control component of the steering system. Similar to a steering wheel, it allows the user to change the direction of the prototype by controlling the steering mechanism.
The head fixes the handlebar in place and connects it to the steering column. It helps transfer the steering force from the handlebar down to the front suspension system.
The steering column connects the handlebar to the front suspension. It transfers the steering motion from the handlebar down to the front suspension system.

Structural Design

The structural sub-team is responsible for designing and constructing the enclosure structure of the bicycle-based vehicle. The structural sub-team also designs the cabin frame, opaque panels, glazing panels, doors, and rear frame components to protect the rider and internal components while maintaining access, visibility, and ventilation.

Requirement

Functions

The functions of the structural components are to:

  1. Environmental Protection: The enclosure must shield the rider from adverse weather conditions (such as wind, rain, and extreme ambient temperatures) and airborne debris.
  2. Occupant and internal component safety: The structural shell must act as a protective barrier, reducing the risk of injury to the rider from external impacts or accidental collisions.
  3. Structural support: The enclosure frame must support the opaque panels, transparent glazing panels, doors, and other structural components.
  4. Access and visibility: The enclosure should allow the rider to enter and exit the vehicle safely and easily.

Objectives

  1. The vehicle must have natural ventilation.
  2. The enclosure must allow rider entry and exit.

Constraints

  1. The 3D printing tolerances caused some fitting problems.
  2. The limited team size made the workload harder to manage.
  3. The time limitations also reduced our time for testing and assembly.

The Design

Designed with a minimalist and futuristic aesthetic, the enclosure features a slim structure that protects the rider from weather conditions and external hazards.

Enclosure

The enclosure is the main protective structure of the vehicle. It consists of a frame, opaque panels, glazing panels, and doors. The enclosure protects the rider and internal components from weather, debris, and external hazards while still allowing rider access, visibility, and ventilation.

Figure 1: Isometric View of the Enclosure Chassis with Panels and Doors omitted for clarity.
Figure 2: Isolated View of the Final Door Design
Figure 3: Isometric View of the Door in an Open State

Door

The door is designed as a pantograph door to provide sufficient clearance for the rider to enter and exit the vehicle regardless of how or where it is parked. Figure 3 illustrates the enclosure door mechanism in its open position on the vehicle chassis.

Natural Ventilation

Natural ventilation is achieved by opening or entirely removing the lateral and rear door. This open configuration serves a dual purpose, facilitating passive airflow to cool internal electronics while simultaneously granting unhindered access to the breadboard for inspection and circuit modification.

Figure 4: HVAC Support (Part 1)
Figure 5: HVAC Support (Part 2)

HVAC Supports

As illustrated in figures 4 and 5 both components are rigidly connected to the enclosure chassis, providing structural support to stabilize the HVAC system's position. Additionally, they serve as structural reinforcement to maintain the alignment and stability of the surrounding components.

Extra Features

Figure 6: Rear Door
Rear Door

The rear door seals the back of the enclosure and assists with the vehicle's passive cooling. It can be opened or completely removed to allow airflow, which prevents the internal electronics from overheating. Removing the door also provides quick, direct access to the breadboard for inspections and wiring adjustments. Depending on user preference, the door can be installed as a permanent fixture or kept easily removable.

Design Alternatives

Figure 7: Design Alternative 1
Figure 8: Design Alternative 2

Design Alternative 1:

The initial design focused on a lightweight bicycle chassis that omitted both doors and a full enclosure, allowing easier access to the bike interior and maximizing natural ventilation. However, this lack of doors and an enclosure presents a major issue with respect to protection; the internal components are exposed, resulting in a high risk of component damage as well as environmental hazards for the rider.

Design Alternative 2 (Final):

The second design alternative (the final design) features a full enclosure that ensures the protection of both the rider and the internal components. This configuration incorporates pantograph doors and a rear doors, both of which can be made removable or permanent depending on user preference.

Design Selection Matrix

Criteria Weight Design 1 Design 2

Recommendations

1.Test fit all enclosure parts before final assembly to reduce problems caused by 3D printing tolerances.

2.Use stronger connection points for the doors, panels, and rear door to improve durability.

3.Keep enough clearance for wiring, breadboard access, HVAC supports, and other sub-team components.
