Tiivistelmä
The objective of this thesis was to design and test a controller that could be used for controlling JOT M10 Test Boxes. The thesis was commissioned by JOT Automation Oy. The design aimed to replace the currently used controller setup consisting of multiple PCBs. New features and improvements were added in addition to the features in the currently used setup. One of the main requirements for the new design was to support the Linux operating system.
The design uses a Computer on Module manufactured by Toradex to provide the processing capabilities to run the Linux operating system. The hardware design process consisted of creating schematics and a layout for a carrier board PCB, onto which the selected Computer on Module was mounted. The hardware design aimed to take software development concerns into account when selecting components.
The implementation of the design was accomplished using PADS, provided by Mentor Graphics. The manufactured PCB was thoroughly tested to ensure that all the features were functional within the specified operating conditions. Overall, the design was successful as all the main features were fully functional for further software development and prototyping.
