Sensors (v.5c)4 Project for the whole term §Choose your own topic and product to be built as long as it is interesting and you enjoy doing it. §Work on a project with the following elements: l Embedded system (using Arduino, Android, etc.) l Hardware interfacing techniques, such as Force (strain gauge), Motion, accelerometers, gyroscope Touch screen Self balancing robots balancing robots Sound.. l Software development Drivers Interfacing program development

Project discussion will be held during lab hours §A group of two students §12 Oct 2015 *(23:59 hour): Send a 2-page proposal to tutors: l Objectives l Plan (what will you achieve at ) Landmark 1 Final demo : last week of the term. l Budget (don’t buy items before the budget is examined and permitted by the tutors). Remember: Keep formal receipts for reimbursement after buying permitted items. §12 Nov 2015 (thur) lab time: Landamrk1 check and marked by tutors. Sensors (v.5c)5
