System Diagram
System Components:
The GPS Gaucho system is made up of four main components:
  • Gaucho/Gaucho Control System
  • Differential GPS System
  • Web-based User Interface
  • Navigation Control System
A diagram of these components and how they talk to each other is shown to the right. The Navigation Control System takes location information from the Differential GPS and destination commands from the User Interface. This data is then used to calculate a path to follow from the current location to the destination, which the Navigation Control System then uses to provide the correct commands to the Gaucho Control System in order to follow the path and reach the final destination.
