Critical Design Review LED3 3D Graphical Display Ararat Adamian Brian McDonald Tyler Blair Adrian Williams
Brian Outline of Presentation • Project objectives and purpose • Implementation • Block Diagrams • Division of Labor • Schedule • Parts list • Risks • Critical Points
Brian Project objectives and purpose Primary Objective: • Construct an 8x8x8 RGB LED cube with a programmable controller • Controller will come with a preset demo as well as the ability to receive custom programs from the user • The LED cube will provide a 3D display for the programmable content and will function as a “3D Simulator”
Brian Extensions • The controller will interface with a USB flash drive • The controller will have orientation modification capabilities on board. This would provide the user with the ability to zoom, shift or rotate the image. • The controller can wirelessly communicate with other wireless devices (smart-phones, computers, ect.)

Adrian Division of Labor
Adrian Schedule
Adrian Critical points • Milestone 1 • PCB designed and ordered • Power supply finished • All planes are finished • Micro-controller is being programmed • Milestone 2 • Hardware is completely built and tested • Software is being designed to interface with cube • USB/Wireless interfaces are being built • Documentation is being completed • Expo • Everything is completed and works perfect
Adrian Cost of Parts
Adrian Risks • Project is heavily hardware orientated • Time constraints • Feasibility of extensions • Unfamiliarity with WiFi technology • Power requirements • Heat dissipation • LEDs are too bright or not bright enough
