Project Plan • Design and Documentation Process • Group influence and final decision making • Diversity of knowledge allows for specialties in decision making • Computer Software • Primary focus area of Justin Robinson • Digital Circuit and Microcontroller Software • Primary focus of Alex Apel • Analog Power Circuits • Primary Focus of Stephan Rashid • End User Guide • Sum of group knowledge of the device and its functionality • Group Contribution
System Architecture PC Software Microcontroller Circuit Serial Control Logic Control Logic Control Logic Control Logic Analog Hardware Analog Hardware Analog Hardware Analog Hardware
Lab Application • Communication Interface • Prototype Serial Communication • Basic Packet Parsing Logic • Connection State Machine • File IO • File Open/Save Dialog Boxes • Skeleton File Read/Write Code • NUnit Testing
Microcontroller and Embedded Software • Acquired Microcontroller from TI recently • Next step is to establish serial communication with user PC • Issues surrounding addressing of peripheral RAM modules, pins unavailable
Peripheral Digital Components • Need to address issue of interface between H-Bridge and peripheral logic, speed continues to be an issue • Availability of parts • Need to finalize feedback data path width before ordering RAM
Analog Hardware • H-Bridge • IXYS -- VBH 40-05B • Support circuitry • Development • Dedicated chip • Testing • Power Supply • Agilent N8739A • Installation in lab
