E N D
Work Completed • IR communication(Protocol, software, and hardware) • RF communication(Software and Hardware) • Hardware(PCBs) • Pack • Tagger • Pylon • Central Computer • Script interpreter
Work Completed (cont.) • High level scripting language • Parser/compiler/linker • Remote procedural call • LCD interface • Communication between PC and devices • Ability to flash compiled script
Work Remaining • System integration • IR and timer code • Power circuit • Program Gametypes • Gui for admin and scripting front end
Problems Encountered • BDM Programmer • PCB Problems • Vdd and Vss • Foot prints • Power Circuit • Via sizes
Difficulty Testing • System testing • Incomplete hardware • Module testing • Pack, Tagger… • Component testing • ICs and passives
Demo Milestone • Protoboard Demo • Tagger • Pack • Central Computer
Compiler Testing • Test Bench
Magnitude • Project was huge • 12 hours per week to start • 25 hours per day at the end
Cost to Others • Scopes • Power Supplies • Countless parts checked out • Resisters • Caps • Programmer • Soldering Iron • Breakout Boards
Safety and Ethics • IR safety • RF safety • Low power • System failure means little • Patent research from 364
