hi,to all of you
I m shankbond ,currently i m doing my engineering in final year,i have to submit a project which i have choosed as a RADAR.
i m making a radar by using an infrared transceiver which i m somehow making to go rotatory i will interface this antenna with a microcontroller which will interface(controlling the speed of rotation) with this antenna as well as with PC(sending the speed of rotation and the angle of detection).
the problem is:
1> how should i connect a rotating antenna with a stationary microcontroller,initially i have chosen a brush contact with slip ring just as in an in a electric motor(but that is just a theoretical concept,any possible 'practical' alternative will be highly appreciated)
2> the second problem is how should i interface my microcontroller with a personal computer,like i have thought of using a RS-232 cable but that is the hardware level interfacing ,how to create a software level interfacing in C or C++,which functions to be used.
thank you
any help on the aforesaid problems will be highly appreciated.
