Projects

1) Undergraduate students:
This is an individual project, which must be finished by the last week of the semester.
Each project requires two written reports (progress and final) turned in to the
instructor as hard copies. You must design and implement a Tic-Tac-Toe game. Here
are the requirements:
--You must use a keyboard to control the game. You can use either the keyboard of
the host PC via UART or you can connect directly a different keyboard to the board's
USB connector. It is up to you to decide which way you want to work with the
keyboard (if using the USB, you will have to bring your own separate keyboard and
figure out how to use it via USB as it will not be covered in the labs).
--It is up to you to specify how exactly players must use the keyboard to play a game.
It is however required that your implementtaion uses the key "N", which is pressed at
any time, would start a NEW game irrespective of whether a game is being played
currently.
--You must display all the actions and the current status of a game on the LCD display
of the MCB1700 board. The status of the game is displayed using O's and X's within a
3x3 table.
--At the end of each game, you must print on the LCD display, under the 3x3 table,
one of these messages: "Player O wins!" or "Player X wins!" or "Tie!" depending of
the outcome of the game.
--At the end of each game you must generate a simple sound that you should play
through the speaker of the board (this is something that you will have to figure out on
your own).
--The progress report must describe, with the help of a block diagram - where you are
with your implementation, what are the major things that you still have to work on,
and what problems you faced so far. This report should be 1.5 pages, font size 10,
single line spacing, font Times New Roman.
--The final report must include: an abstract, a detailed description of the system and
how must be used, description of results, conclusion, and the source code (at the end
of the report, font size 8). This report should be at least 3 pages, font size 10, single
line spacing, font Times New Roman.
--Students must demonstrate the project to the instructor during the last week of the
semester during the regular lab sessions.
Project grade components:
--Progress report (33%) - due April 14 2013 at noon;
--Final report (33%) - due on Friday, May 3 2013, at 6pm, as a hard copy handed to
Cris or placed under the door of Cris' office.
--Demo (34%) - due on May 2 2012 (between 10-11:59am) or May 3 2013
(between 10-11:59am) in the lab. As part of the demo, you must also upload on UB
Learns your source code no later than May 3 2013, 11:59pm. This should be under
the form of a .zip archive named project_final_firstName_lastName.zip and should
contain the complete uVision project. This is mandatory because your code will be
checked against other students' code.
Late submission/delivery will not be accepted; please do not send emails with
attachments.

2) Graduate students:
You must propose your own project, which must be significantly more complex than
the undergraduate students' project. This is also an individual project. However, if the
complexity of the project is really high, you may be allowed to work in teams of two
or (rarely) three students. Your proposed topic must be approved first by the
instructor. Please do not start working on a project before having it approved. Each
project requires three written reports (proposal, progress, and final) turned in as hard
copies to the instructor.
--The proposal report must describe what your project is about. This must be done
after you first discussed the topic with the instructor. This report should be 1 page,
font size 10, single line spacing, font Times New Roman.
--The progress report must describe, with the help of a block diagram - where you are
with your implementation, what are the major things that you still have to work on,
and what problems you faced so far. This report should be 1.5 pages, font size 10,
single line spacing, font Times New Roman.
--The final report must include: an abstract, a detailed description of the system and
how must be used, description of results, conclusion, and the source code (at the end
of the report, font size 8). This report should be at least 3 pages, font size 10, single
line spacing, font Times New Roman.
--Students must demonstrate the project to the instructor during the last week of the
semester during the regular lab sessions.
--In addition, students must create a video presentation to describe and demonstrate
their final project; the presentation must be uploaded to youtube. Links to students'
video presentations will be posted on the class website.
Project grade components:
--Proposal report (10%) - due March 26 2013 at noon;
--Progress report (20%) - due April 14 2013 at noon;
--Final report (20%) - due on Friday, May 3 2013, at 6pm, as a hard copy handed to
Cris or placed under the door of Cris' office;
--Video presentation 3-5 minutes (15%) - due on Friday, May 3 2013, 6pm, video
uploaded on youtube.com and link sent to Cris via email (email should also include
the full name of each team member);
--Demo (35%) - due on May 2 2012 (between 8-10am) or May 3 2013 (between 8-
10am) in the lab. As part of the demo, you must also upload on UB Learns your
source code no later than May 3 2013,11:59pm. This should be under the form of a
.zip archive named project_final_firstName_lastName.zip and should contain the
complete uVision project. This is mandatory because your code will be checked
against other students' code who worked on the same topic.
Late submission/delivery will not be accepted; please do not send emails with
attachments.
