It is expected that students registered for 6090 and 8090 will do an additional project, to scope of which is agreed-upon by the instructor. This will consist of taking a sensor or actuator and making a lab assignment from it that works on the Mini R8C Evaluation board. The lab will be performed by the class students and will be due by the midterm. Sensors/actuators student groups will investigate include:
- Communications via optical fiber
- Stress gauges
- Accelerometers
- RFID
- Sonar sensors
- Compass
- Stepper motors
- Nitinol actuators
This project should have several deliverables:
- A lab assignment sheet, complete with circuit drawings needed to complete the lab, instructional descriptions, and sample designs. (Due 3/4/04)
- A coding solution and grading solution. (due 3/4/04)
- Instructional transparencies (due 3/4/04)
- 15-minute instructional presentation of the lab assignment (2nd half of the semester)
- Application note of the sensor/actuator implementation. (due 4/15/04)
- Updated lab assignment sheet, complete with circuit drawings needed to complete the lab, instructional descriptions, and sample designs. (Due 5/4/04)
- A coding solution and grading solution. (due 5/4/04)
- Instructional transparencies (due 5/4/04)
There is an alternate project ? making a PCB, coding the processor, and testing the system of a Renesas R8C/11 ? based Stiquito circuit. There is a start (a group did this last semester), but we need a completed and tested circuit done by March 4. If interested, see Dr. Conrad. |
