Summary

Report was for a Roll-Timer project, a smart alarm clock with multiple functions. The initial report was intended to set the scene for the project's highly technical nature, and break it down into bite size chunks....

Description

Team 12 – Initial Report Preliminary Demo separate components   

LCD Backlight – Cycles between partial brightness levels on button press, fading included USB to Serial with AVR – TX AND RX working correctly using serial terminal software Software – All GUI Controls present, shows current PC time and is updating real time

Components of Roll Timer Project -

-

PCB Design and manufacture o Have first working design ready by certain date o Review and work on final design Assembly of all components (Soldering, encasing etc.) o More towards the end, AVR Microcontroller (software and interactions to LCD/sensors) i.e. onboard software Interaction with PC software GUI (via USB)

Key deadlines: WBS
