Project Title

OVS: Piano Glove

Abstract

The Piano Glove is a device that is capable of synthesizing the notes of a Baby Grand Piano.

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.

Schedule Overview

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.

Hardware Design & Interface

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 Schedule

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

System Block Diagram

The following diagram is a high-level overview of our system. It is depicts the general structure of our design. In addition to that, it also demonstrates a generalization of the major system components that were used as well as their relationship among each other.

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 & Implementation

Software Schedule

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.

Week #	Start Date	End Date	Description	Status	Actual End Date
1	10/21/16	10/28/16	Research the following: Algorithm Design/Implementation and Digital Signal Processing in MATLAB	Complete	10/28/16
2	10/28/16	11/11/16	Develop Algorithm and Device Drivers as well as Incorporating RTOS	In Progress
3	11/11/16	11/18/16	Status Update: Demo First Round of Prototyping	In Progress
4	11/18/16	11/25/16	Implement code with integrated unit and begin debugging as necessary	N/A
5	11/25/16	12/02/16	Continue System Verification and Validation Testing for Optimization	N/A
6	12/02/16	12/20/16	Finalize Design and Prepare for Demo	N/A

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?
