Reverse Engineering Control Signals for Andros Robotic System - The original Remotec Andros Robotic System control panel consists of mechanical toggle switches and levers that are entirely placed on a chassis that is large and heavy for the average user. The new control device consists of a touch-screen keypad controller that is smaller, lighter and much easier for the end-user to operate. The control signals emanating from the original control box must be acquired and installed in the new touch-screen control device. This is done using a software application that captures the serial signal as it is sent from the original control box. Reverse engineering the control signals is the initial point of development for a completely renovated control system that is the focus of my current work. |
