ECE 1100Introduction to Engineering Project 3: Symon! University of Houston Len Trombetta
Parts List • 4 LEDs of different colors • 120 [W] resistors (4)
Project Description • The Acme Gaming Company is losing market share and has hired your team to develop the prototype for a new game. • Game specifications: • It is to be a computer-based version of the existing game “Simon”. • It must include both hardware and software components. • There must be a way to keep score when several people play (a group of ECE 1100 students, for example). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_(game)
Original Simon Game • Simon lights a combination of four lights, one at a time, in a random sequence. • By pushing the buttons, each player must reproduce the sequence that Simon gave. There is a time limit! • At first there is only 1 light, but as the game progresses, there are more lights in the sequence. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_(game)
Additional Project Specs • We will use LEDs for lights, and software pushbuttons for the user response. • We will do the programming in LabVIEW. • Other specs: • Four light sequence • Score keeper • Timer, with decreasing time for each round http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_(game)
LED ON/OFF One way to control LEDs is via the digital outputs… Task 1 of the Symon Grading Rubric is to set this up and make the LEDs go on or off using the Instrument Launcher DigOut.
