- understand the importance of modular code
Getting Individual Parts Working
- get microprocessor working
- know how to reprogram it
- blink program
- get each sensor working (4 total)
- write individual firmware modules (use pre-existing libraries)
- test sensors on breadboard, verify firmware
- get XBee working
- write XBee modules (library)
- test on breadboard, verify firmware
- get charging circuit working
- test with solar panel and lamp
Putting It All Together
- wire everything together on breadboard
- verify hardware design
- integrate firmware modules into a main program
- verify firmware
- design PCB
- print PCB
- solder parts
- debug hardware
- load firmware and debug system
Along the Way
- design housing
- create bill of materials
- create a power budget
- other analysis?
- presentations
- final report
