OVERVIEW

Re-creation of the classic board game Battleship

Materials:Surface-mounted LEDs

Reflective sensors

Arduino Mega 2560

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Milestones Completion Date Completed?

Final budget; Order all parts 09/25/2013

Yes; Just waiting for LEDs to arrive

Basic Program Code 10/12/2013 No

LED/Sensor Connection 10/23/2013

No; LEDs have not arrived

Schematic design inputted into PCB

creator10/24/2013 Yes

OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Schematic design for PCBImportant milestone that was not added

Foundation block needed before the group can continue to design and connect parts together

This design plays a huge role into how the hardware will be connected

ISSUES/CONCERNS

Due to how long it’s taking for LEDs to arrive:

All milestones that deal with the LEDs are delayed

Cannot do any testing between the sensors and LEDs

Milestone originally created for best case scenario; Everything will need to be adjusted to make up for delay.Hardware implementation: rely heavily on schematic design of PCB

CONCLUSIONDue to a minor delay, the team is currently behind schedule on building the project

As soon as LEDs arrive, testing and assembling will begin to determine how LEDs and sensors must be connected to achieve our goal for the project.
