Temperature Acquisition Module Grading/Requirements

DEADLINES

Prototype Board
Prototypes must be turned in by the end of lab on November 26, 2002.

Documentation and Code
A turn-in will be set up on the CS secure server. All documentation and code will be due by 11:59 pm on November 27, 2002. If your code is late it will not be accepted. You will be graded soley on the prototype board.

Since we have grading deadlines NO LATE projects will be accepted. NO EXCEPTIONS!

What you will be provided with:

1. Breadboard
2. LM75 Temperature Sensor
3. AT24C01 EEPROM
4. and anything you have in your parts boxes.

What you will need to turn in:

1. Your prototype circuit
2. Documentation (1 report per group)
   1. problem defenition
   2. schematic
   3. user's guide
   4. description of the I2C protocol
   5. DETAILED explaination of how your code/circuit works
3. Code
   1. Your code should be well commented.
   2. Provide instructions on how to build your code.

What we will look for in grading:

1. Circuit
   1. correctness
   2. presentation (i.e. neatness)
2. Documentation
   1. problem definition
   2. high-level discussion of how your device works (i.e. what is it supposed to do? what components need to interact/communicate? how does your code accomplish this?)
   3. correctness and readability of schematic
   4. correctness and discussion of the i2c protocol
   5. thoroughness of the user's guide
3. Code
   1. correctness of code
   2. appropriate comments
