Project Based Engineering Instrumentation High Level Coding and Microcontrollers

Section 15.4 Assignment

Using either low or high level control, take at least 60 seconds of data using the microphone, photocell, accelerometer and thermistor on your CPX/CPB. Make sure to log time and the raw sensor value at 1Hz or faster. To make the project more challenging, try and log all sensor data all at once (although this isn’t a strict requirement).
  1. Title page with name,title and date - 5%
  2. Introduction - 5%
  3. All figures must have appropriate annotations, figure captions, figure labels and a paragraph of supporting text - 10%
  4. Include 4 screenshots (entire computer screen) of Mu with the plotter open showing example data from each sensor. - 10% per photo
  5. Include 4 plots with time on the x-axis and sensor data on the y-axis (No screenshots) - 10% per plot
  6. Appendix A - Video Details - Filmd yourself and your entire screen with the Plotter open in Mu as you demonstrate the output of all 4 sensors. The values on the Plotter must change due to your inputs - Pass/Fail
  7. Appendix B - Code used to take data and code used to plot in plain text (no screenshots) - Pass/Fail
  8. Appendix C - Screenshot of Excel or Sheets if applicable - Pass/Fail
  9. If you are asked to fix something in the Appendices such as missing content in your video or screenshots of your code, you will lose 10% of your grade everytime you submit an update after the deadline.
