1. ECE 480: Team 3 Pre-Proposal Rituraj Behera – Presentation Prep Samuel Flynn – Team Manager Da Ke - Webmaster Sungsoo Kim – Lab Coordinator Eric Myers – Document Prep. Dr. Shanblatt - Facilitator

2. Presentation Outline Project Summary Problems Features Hardware and Software Design Phases Project Budget

3. Project Summary An emerging trend in new homes: Home Control Panels Like a universal remote for everything in your house Lights, Climate Control, Security, and more TI wants in on this: OMAP3 processor

4. Problem Design a home automation control panel Make an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) Display things like time, weather, room temperature Buttons, sliders, and menus to get more information Aesthetics and easy to use

5. Solution: The Beagle Board Small 3 inches by 3 inches Powerful TI OMAP3530 integrates - CPU : 600Mhz ARM Cortex A8 - Memory : 256MB Flash memory 128MB DDRAM - GPU : PowerVR SGX530 1 x USB OTG Source: www.beagleboard.org

10. Design Phase 1 Conceptual Graphical Design Install operating system (Angstrom Linux) Configure Development Environment o Java, IDE, Basic I/O Hardware Implement GUI Design o Create buttons o Make sliders o Video, weather, and time windows

11. Design Phase 2 Add Video Doorbell o Connect a video camera and add the display to the control panel Decode National Weather Service radio band o Use Si4707 IC to receive and decode weather band info Interface a touch screen instead of mouse and keyboard Integrate hardware with the GUI display

12. What’s Coming Up? GUI design by the end of this week. Start GUI implementation next week. GUI Decoration.
