ECE 477 Design Review Team 4 Spring 2006 Justin Thacker, Matt Kocsis, Ian Snyder, Dustin Poe
Outline • Project overview • Project-specific success criteria • Block diagram • Component selection rationale • Packaging design • Schematic and theory of operation • PCB layout • Software design/development status • Project completion timeline • Questions / discussion
Project Overview • The Digital Real-time Intelligent Networked Kegerator will address safety, legal, usability, and economic concerns of draft beverage distribution. Alcohol consumption monitoring will provide a tool to allow a person to know exactly how much they have consumed, learn estimated legal limits, and reduce unauthorized or unlawful drinking. System control and monitoring will allow users to track inventory, decrease beverage waste, and predict future resource needs.
Project-Specific Success Criteria • An ability to sense and control beverage temperature. • An ability to identify authorized users via electronic identification. • An ability to track consumption on an individual basis. • An ability to display user/device status on an LCD. • An ability to control the function of and report the status of the kegerator via an embedded web server.
Packaging Design • Self contained unit • Easy to add on to existing system

PCB Layout Temp/Compress Biometric Future Dev Serial Interface Common Beverage Interface RCM3315 MicrocontrollerModule 5V and 3.3V Converters
Common Beverage Interface • Have common I/0 simplified easily through symmetry • Segregates High Current Analog From Rest of Circuit
DC to DC Converter • Traces made short and large as possible • Bypass Capacitors mounted underneath to get as close as possible • Power and Signal Gnds Segregated • EMI reduction
Software Design/Development Status • All functions built into costate statements. • Temperature polling • Rabbit web • External events triggered by interupts. • Flowmeters: code working on rabbit • Other hardware over serial communication. • Bill Validator: code working on rabbit • RFID: code working on rabbit • LCD: code working on computer
Project Completion Timeline • Week 8 – PCB and Schematic finalization and test circuits • Week 9 – Finalize PCB and test circuits • Week 10 – Complete all functional software modules and hardware testing • Week 11 – PCB integration and testing • Week 12 – Integrate controller functions with web and hardware testing • Week 13 – Add complex features • Week 14 – Test complex features, create video and poster • Week 15 – Final Presentation, Report
