Design & Implementation

The design section can go over your hardware and software design. Organize this section using sub-sections that go over your design and implementation.

Hardware Design

Discuss your hardware design here. Show detailed schematics, and the interface here.

Hardware Interface

In this section, you can describe how your hardware communicates, such as which BUSes used. You can discuss your driver implementation here, such that the Software Design section is isolated to talk about high level workings rather than inner working of your project.

Software Design

Show your software design. For example, if you are designing an MP3 Player, show the tasks that you are using, and what they are doing at a high level. Do not show the details of the code. For example, do not show exact code, but you may show psuedocode and fragments of code. Keep in mind that you are showing DESIGN of your software, not the inner workings of it.

CAN Message ID Table

Message ID Task associated with it Data bytes Data values
0x00 Kill switch 1 Data 0/1
0x01 Reset Message 1 Data 0/1
0x02 PowerUp Message Sync 1 Data 0/1
0x03 PowerUp Message Sync Ack 1 Data values(1-5)
0x04 PowerUp Message Ack 1 Data values(1-5)
0x05 Heartbeat Message 1 Data 0/1
0x06 Heartbeat Message Ack 1 Data values(1-5)
0x07 Distance sensor data message 6 Front three sensor, One left, One right and One back (each byte for each sensor)
0x08 Light/Battery sensor data message 2 one for Light and one for Battery status
0x09 Geo data message 8 4 bytes for longitude and 4 bytes for lattitude
0x0A Car pause message 1 Data 0/1
0x0B Car resume message 1 Data 0/1
0x0C Checkpoint message request 1 Data 0/1
0x0D Checkpoint data message 8 Still working with JSON data in Android application
0x0E Driving mode message 1 SLOW / NORMAL / FAST / TURBO
0x0F Speed message from GPS 1 Speed value (in mph)
0x10 Free run car message 1 Data 0/1 -> Just run car with obstacle avoidance
0x11 Error Message 1 Different types of error messages

Implementation

This section includes implementation, but again, not the details, just the high level. For example, you can list the steps it takes to communicate over a sensor, or the steps needed to write a page of memory onto SPI Flash. You can include sub-sections for each of your component implementation.

Testing & Technical Challenges

Describe the challenges of your project. What advise would you give yourself or someone else if your project can be started from scratch again? Make a smooth transition to testing section and described what it took to test your project.

Include sub-sections that list out a problem and solution, such as:

My Issue #1

Discuss the issue and resolution.

Conclusion

Conclude your project here. You can recap your testing and problems. You should address the "so what" part here to indicate what you ultimately learnt from this project. How has this project increased your knowledge?

Project Video

Upload a video of your project and post the link here.

Project Source Code

References

Acknowledgement

Any acknowledgement that you may wish to provide can be included here.

References Used

List any references used in project.

Appendix
