Project Based Engineering Instrumentation High Level Coding and Microcontrollers

Section 12.3 Assignment

This project is similar to the Data Acquisition project only you must use method 6 to save time and button presses to a text file. You must then plot the button presses as a function of time. Remember to add x and y labels to all figures.
  1. Title page with name,title and date - 5%
  2. Introduction with wiring diagram - 5%
  3. All figures must have appropriate annotations, figure captions, figure labels and a paragraph of supporting text - 10%
  4. Include a screenshot (entire computer screen) of your computer actively reading serial data from your CPX/CPB - 20%
  5. Include a snippet (5 lines) of your data file - 20%
  6. Include a plot of your button presses with time on the x-axis and button presses on the y-axis (no screenshots) - 40%
  7. Appendix A - Video Details - Film yourself and your entire screen with the Serial monitor open in Mu as you press a button on the CPX/CPB. Then show your computer actively reading and saving the data via serial. Finall,y show yourself plotting the data on your computer - Pass/Fail
  8. Appendix B - Code used to take data and code used to plot in plain text (no screenshots) - Pass/Fail
  9. Appendix C - Screenshot of Excel or Sheets if applicable - Pass/Fail
  10. 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.
