EEET2256_Project_Digital Safe

AIMS (i) To design, simulate, implement and test an interface to an external device using Microchip Studio 7.0 and an ATmega32A microcontroller. (ii) To interpret manufacturer datasheets and decide on the appropriate additional peripheral(s) to be used within the ATmega32A microcontroller. (iii) To extend existing the knowledge gained in previous laboratories and build on verified solutions. (iv) To demonstrate the design workflow when developing complex microcontroller interfaces and communicate the outcomes to a wider audience. (v) To develop a large-scale Assembler / C project that will require numerous sub- modules that are required to work together to achieve a common complex task. (vi) To interpret design specifications from a worded description and successfully implement the corresponding firmware. 2 INTRODUCTION In this project you will use Microchip Studio 7.0 to develop a complex project that builds on the knowledge gained from previous laboratory assessments. In developing the project, you will work with one additional student (maximum group size of two students) strictly from the same laboratory session and demonstrate your achievements to the Laboratory Demonstrator throughout the remainder of the semester. The application that your group will develop is to be written in Assembler and C and will be deployed to a physical ATmega32A microcontroller over the course of the project period. The project runs over four weeks (weeks 8, 9, 10, 11) and the final demonstration will occur during your laboratory session in Week 11. A late penalty of 10% of the total score possible per calendar day late will apply for assessment components that are to be submitted to Canvas past the due date / time. Your submission will only be considered complete when the report as well as the corresponding code is submitted to Canvas. In Week 11 during your laboratory session you will present the outcomes of your project (10% of the available course grade). This involves a demonstration of the tasks achieved over the course of the project to the Laboratory Demonstrator. The final report (15% of the available course grade), which fully describes your achievements, is due on Friday, Week 12 at 11:59pm via Canvas (Turnitin). The entire code tree (both in Assembler and C) is to be submitted by the same due / date time otherwise the assessment will be considered incomplete and late penalties will apply to the EEET2256 Major Project Topic List Page 1.2 EEET2256 – Introduction to Embedded Systems – Major Project report component. Both students in the group are required to submit identical reports and code to the Canvas website (one report, written and submitted by both students in the group) The aim of the projects is
