Conceptual Design

The pictures above illustrate the initial concept of the Automated Slot Car system.

Design Goals

The microprocessor will be used to:

• Determine whether or not the car is in a corner and adjust the car speed accordingly
• Signal the user that race is going to start
• Provide feedback of lap time differences between user and computer controlled cars
• Allow both cars to be manually controlled
  

Proposed microprocessor subsystems to be utilized:

• Analog to Digital Converter
• Main Timer and/or Pulse Accumulator
• Parallel Input/Output
• Maskable/Nonmaskable Interrupts
