Özet

ROV control interfaces are generally provided by computer based programs or joystick-like devices. This study focuses on generating an independent touch panel platform for control interface according to set PWM inputs from relevant interface to ease control process of an underwater ROV. Control interface is established by graphical drawings on which sensor data are displayed and desired PWM values are set. Motion is shown upon Cartesian coordinates. Lcd.h library is used to draw desired figures and the control algorithms including communication protocols are programmed with the 'C' language. ARM Discovery Touch Screen Panel is employed to monitor the sensor data, X-Y-Z Cartesian coordinates, the sliders and the buttons. The developed interface on the panel successfully satisfies the depth and steering control requirements of the ROV.
