Software System for Unmanned Surface Vehicle Using PCI8602

The design of software system for unmanned surface vehicle using PCI8602 is introduced. The software system includes the drive program of PCI8602, wireless transmission program and master controller program. Visual Basic is used to write programs, which doesn’t write complicated communication protocols between each layers and integrating subsystem is easy. At last, the experiment results demonstrate that the control system for USV has a way to real-time acquisition data, sending data and accomplishing remote control.
