Project 2 - Implement the Code for controlling the retraction and extension of Airplane’s landing gear
Project 2 :-Implement the Code for controlling the retraction and extension of Airplanes landing gear .
In this project, controlling the retraction and extension of Airplane’s landing gear can be implemented using Finite State Machine (FSM). FSM is the most efficient algorithm which is mathematical model of computation.
Objective:
Here we are going to control the Airplanes landing gear.
What is Finite state Machine:
A finite state machine (sometimes called a finite state automaton) is a computation model that can be implemented with hardware or software and can be used to simulate sequential logic and some computer programs. Finite state automata generate regular languages. Finite state machines can be used to model problems in many fields including mathematics, artificial intelligence, games, and linguistics.
A system where particular inputs cause particular changes in state can be represented using finite state machines. This example describes the various states of a turnstile. Inserting a coin into a turnstile will unlock it, and after the turnstile has been pushed, it locks again. Inserting a coin into an unlocked turnstile, or pushing against a locked turnstile will not change its state.
Implementation of the code:-
Undestanding the logic of working of retraction and extension of airplane landing gear is very much important..
The logic is explianed as follows:-
As per the above mentioned control logic and given state machine logic we have to implement the code
The above flow chart represent condition of the state and condition required to jump into next state.
Code:-
First create the function we want to carry out the process or controlling sets of gear under different condition as per the above chart.
acess the function using folloiwng commnad
Create enu type structure to creating the alise number to our function which is easy to carrry out comparison and easy way giving inputs.
Create object name for all 4 enum structures and also state machine table
create the object named as statemachine which is an array in which it contain six different type of condtional output:
Create the main function to implement the code
In the main function calling the function name to initiate state machine function.
While and if selse are used to execute landing gear at following condition
GEAR_DOWN,
CHECKING_BEFORE_TAKEOFF,
RAISING_GEAR,
GEAR_UP,
CHECK_BEFORE_LANDING,
LOWERING_GEAR
In the gear down function we are changing the current state to gear down
And getting the pilot inputs if the pilot give inputs as raising anf switch on it means ready to takes off and changing th state as checking before takeooff state
And then printing current indication and light.
Gear down and pilot lever, squat switch checking before take off with the help of if else as shwon in thr above image
In the checking before takeoff function we are getting the input from pilot for liver,squat switch.
If the liver is falling it goes to the geardown fuction part.
otherwise when the liver is raising and switch is up the current state is changes to next state that is Raising gear
Print the direction of valve,light,indication statemachine.
NEXT STATE IS RAISING GEAR:
In the raising gear function getting input from the pilot as lever is falling and switch is on it means it change state is check before landing and print the respectine value.If the lever is up then state changes to gear up and following output we will get.
NEXT FUNCTION IS CHECKING BEFORE LANDING
In this function we are pilot input as lever is falling and haydraulis finction as same then state changes to lowering gear and show corresponding output from the statemachine array.
If the lever is falling and hydralics not working it shows the gas pressure system.
THE LAST FUNCTION Lowering the Gear
If we are getting input as lever falling and limit switch is on then state is checking before landing and it is output is shown from state machine.
If we are getting input as lever raising and limit switch is off then state is gear down and it is output is shown from state machine.
If limit switch is off the it goes to lowering gear function itself in.
