Abstract
This section should be a couple lines to describe what your project does.
Objectives & Introduction
Show list of your objectives. This section includes the high level details of your project. You can write about the various sensors or peripherals you used to get your project completed.
Team Members & Responsibilities
- Dhruv Kakadiya
- Surojit Sengupta
Schedule
Show a simple table or figures that show your scheduled as planned before you started working on the project. Then in another table column, write down the actual schedule so that readers can see the planned vs. actual goals. The point of the schedule is for readers to assess how to pace themselves if they are doing a similar project.

Parts List & Cost
Give a simple list of the cost of your project broken down by components. Do not write long stories here.
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.
- Pin connections for Bluefruit module is as per below.
- Reverse side pin outs for Bluefruit module is as per below.
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.
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.

Scratch pad
1. Collect sensor data from all the sensors a. IMU b. Temp c. Light
Collect values and transmit over individual BLE service nrf51822 -> no OS. Put OS on top of that and replace NORDIC BLE UART , with own ble service and use specific UUID
Profiles ->
Light Sensor (Notify/Indicate/Raw read)

BLE Part https://www.adafruit.com/product/2479
Try and implement FreeRTOS / RTX on the AdaFruit BLE nordic Part
Surojit - Start with the Android side of things [04/23/2016] ==> Balance a ball based on mobile app based on IMU reading from board. ==> Real time graph for each of the Sensor Readings. ==> Push data on to cloud
- Dhruv- 1 sensor and BLE nordic and tune it , Make BLE profile (Temperature) [04/23/2016]
- Dhruv- 1 more sensor and BLE nordic , Make BLE profile (Light) [04/23/2016]
- Surojit - 1 more sensor and BLE nordic , Make BLE profile (IMU) [04/17/2016]
