Team specializing in PCBs and software
Budget: €1,500 – €3,000 EUR
We are looking for a high-level Electronic Engineer to take over and complete a Pipe Inspection Robot project.
System Architecture:
Robot Unit: 4x 24V Drive Motors, 2x 5V Pan/Tilt Motors, IMU (Body Balance)
Suitcase Control Unit: RS-485 Master, Dual Joystick (B7) Interface, Reel Encoder, and Integrated Video Capture.
Communication: 100-meter tether (Twisted Pair).
Technical Requirements (Must-Have Expertise):
Video: Deep knowledge of AHD 1080p (Sony IMX322). Integration of AHD-to-USB UVC Bridges (NVP2441 / TP2825 or similar).
Signal Integrity: Design of Integrated Video Baluns and Galvanic Isolation (DC-DC Isolated Converters) to separate camera ground from motor noise.
Motor Control: Implementation of hardware current limiting (Stall Protection) and independent PWM control.
Linux/OS: Migration and optimization of existing control software for Mageia 9 (x86_64). Experience with GStreamer and V4L2 for low-latency video is critical.
Deliverables:
Review and fix existing Schematics (Robot & Suitcase must be separate projects).
Complete PCB Layout (Gerbers, BOM, Pick&Place).
Firmware and Mageia 9 Software porting.
