Assessment process Report will be first marked by assigned demonstrator within 1 week. Demonstrator will arrange interview with you for sometime in week of 5th December or the following week Individual interview (15 minutes) should include working demonstration and question and answer session. Feedback on report will be given. Second marking by me J. Nash - Microprocessor Course

Project • Produce plan by end of next week and submit as ‘progress report’. It will be assessed and used to agree your project with your demonstrator. • Be creative • We are looking for innovative ideas J. Nash - Microprocessor Course
Example Product: Signal Generator • A Signal Generator should be programmable. • A user should be able to use the keyboard and the LCD display to change the: • Frequency • Amplitude • Offset • Pulse shape (Square, Sinusoidal, Triangle..) • Analog signal output by using a Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) J.
