The purpose of this project was to develop a remote controlled hovercraft. This project was completed in fulfillment of the requirements fo SENG 466: Software for Embedded and Mechatronics Systems. This project builds on the work completed in Project 1: Prototype Base Station and Remote Station and is the second milestone towards the course goal of building an autonomous hovercraft. The final deliverable must be capable of handling a payload of 1.5kg and must consume no more than 35W of power for its lifting system. Using the air ow generated by propellors, the hovercraft will be lifted by the air captured inside a skirt underneath. The project con- sists of a base station and a remote station, and the hovercraft is controlled by a Playstion 3 gamepad connected to the base station that wirelessly communicates with the remote station onboard the hovercraft.
