Timing limitation with DAQ. Several Solutions have been attempted, No

practical solutions with available hardware given functional requirments

Still waiting for dedicated computer. PCB has not arrived in time.

PWM – Linear to discrete Stages Reason: Limitations of the DAQ-6008

Sound-LED interaction Reason: Timing issues between DAQ and sound

acquisition. Sound Output

Reason: Computer limitations. Software exists, however drivers were unable to install due to internet problems with the current computer (untested).

SIGNAL ADDITION

DAC PWM VALUE

OBTAINING A SOUND SAMPLE

oThe sound input has a different functionality than the other inputs.

o Allows the user to customize the rooms color scheme to their desired preferences.

o Although the functionality of the PWM changes between the sound input, manual control and the DAC inputs, the logic is identical for all instances.

Sonar Sensors Range and functionality are verified. Noise levels are determined for different ranges of

each sensor High Noise: Continuous changes in voltage read Medium Noise: Takes some time to find distance Low Noise: Distance is found quickly, with little to no signal distortion.

Led Light Bars Current and functionality has been verified for each unit. All LED light bars will be

operating at 12.5 volts, driving roughly 2.5 to 3 amperes of current when on. Average power is dependant on the duty cycle.

LED Driver The Driver has been tested using a signal generator for functionality. 5 different test points

were chosen, and it was verified that noticeable light control occurred. Testing is still in progress for integration. Lights are blinking (computer limitations).

Thermistor Resistivity, and functionality has been verified for both thermistors. Temperatures were

checked and verified between the two devices in different ambient temperatures, and with applied heat.

DAQ-6008 Input functionality has been verified. Resolving output capability.

Sound Sound input capability has been verified. Sound output is in progress for the RFID. A

redesign is necessary for the functionality of the sound to light functionality.

While this project was set out to originally be a smaller scope than other projects (due to the small group size), there were definitely some challenges which needed to be overcome in order to successfully complete the Iowa State Science Center, including the need to completely learn several programs from the ground up, with no prior experience.

Despite some small bugs within the system, our group believes that the project was, overall, successful. The only implementation which was not included is expected to be included with the next senior design team, and should be ready for demo by its intended date at Veisha.

This project has been good experience for the future workforce. The information applied in developing the system, from the technical aspects, to the documentation, even the teamwork, will be beneficial in all of our future jobs, no matter where they may be.
