USTSmartcar

This is a library developed by the HKUST Robotics team for the SmartCar Competition. Compiles in the IAR IDE for the Freescale k60 MCU on a custom made development board.

Gyroscope, Accelerometer, encoders and Linear CCD libraries are also written for input.

Conventions

This library attempts to follow the following conventions:

1.If your function is part of a Hardware Ability:

• have it live inside of a library eventually ( i.e accl.c, accl.h)

2.Prefix all functions with library name:

• i.e. accl_tilt();

3.for global variables, affix g_ to the front of the variable, and label the type with f,u8,ch etc.

• i.e. g_u8ar_ccd_pixel would mean it is a global variable with type u8 array called pixel, related to the ccd library,
• this allows code to be self documenting and easier to read

4.With the exception of special deployment scenarios, (i.e. pintest), refrain from defining functions inside of main.c,

• increase readability.
• try to place them in their own .h & .c files
