1. 1 Authors (if more than one), Presenter Period covered by this report Title North Carolina State University Wireless Ad Hoc and Local Area Networks

2. 2 Outline  Tasks accomplished.  Tasks underway.  Other.  Plans for next week.

3. 3 Tasks accomplished.  Rebuilt the circuit as per our discussion last week. Shifted the circuit to a bigger bread-board, since there were in all 7 ICs.  Completed the software routine. Did simulations in AVR Studio to ensure that the duration of the line-display was close to 52.5 usec.

4. 4 Tasks underway  To get the software running using the uC /circuit. Issues: On downloading the software to the STK, the expected pattern did not show up on the TV. Possible Causes: Incorrect circuit connections? ( 7 ICs!!) Incorrect Software? Is the timing diagram correct?

5. 5 Other  Now completely moved over to EGRC lab, really a good quiet environment with all the required facilities.  Laptop has all the required software, Wireless card should arrive tomorrow.

6. 6 Plans for next week.  Get the hardware and software to work together. Test on the TV.  Look into optimizing the Asteroids game/Glib. This will lead into the next phase. (Steps: 1. Optimizing Asteroids/Glib, 2. Hand-integrating the threads).  Need to plan-out exactly what is to be achieved for the ISCA paper, and make a timetable for that.
