Concept Generation and Evaluation

MSD Project 10662Multi Camera System

Electrical System DesignThe over all system was designed to show a connector board which would take all the signal in and transfer them to the FPGA in the correct format to allow for expansion of the system.

Detailed View of Switch to FPGAThe Camera is selected by a mux that is controled by the FPGA. This systems allowed for 1 D3 input connection to be run to the board. If more cameras wanted to be added then the Connector Board would have to be redesigned.

FPGA Board DesignThe Model of the FPGA Board drawn to show the connections and what is needed for the design. This design includes and JTAG Controller.

Mechanical DesignsDesign showing the mounting of design package to the airplane and how the boards would stack up.

Mechanical DesignsConcepts for the design of the box and the airplane mounting plate.

Mechanical Designs The position of the boards are showing to minimize the size of the box and to include all boards and units in one enclosure.

Concept Improvement and Selection
