EE331: Microprocessor, 2012-13, Term 1
Design Project (30%, 60 marks) Proposal due by: October 15, 2012 (Monday)
The students will work in a group of four, depending on the design complexity and scope of work. We would like to limit the number of groups.
The project should be of such complexity that does not take more than 14-16 hours/student. You are required to build a working prototype of your design. You may choose any mid-range micro of the PIC16F family (e.g. 16F84A, 16F87x, 16F88x, etc.). You must use assembly language in your design.
A one-page project proposal should be sent by email to the instructor by October 15, 2012 (Monday). Please rename the file as EE331_lastname1_lastname2_lastname3_lastname4.doc (or pdf). It should clearly state the following: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Project description Demonstration plan (how will you demo it?) Type of MCU to be used Brief mention of design challenges Group member’s name and their tentative role clearly defined
The proposals will be discussed on the following class (October 17 or 19). The proposal must be approved by the instructor.
The demo will be held in end November. The final project report is due around that time. The details will be posted later.
You are required to demonstrate the project to the instructor/marker before the final submission date. There will be an oral exam during the demonstration (dates will be announced later). All members must participate in the demonstration and the oral exam in order to get credit.
The overall evaluation is as follows: o Project demonstration – 12% (24 marks) – by group o Oral exam – 10% (20 marks) – by individual o Final report – 8% (16 marks) – by group
If you have any question, please contact the instructor. Some suggested projects are listed on the next page.

EE331: Microprocessor, 2012-13, Term 1 It is HIGHLY ENCOURAGED to come up with your own idea. Think about future courses (projects) such as, EE395 and EE495. Think about something big! – break it into small pieces; do one piece in this course and then keep building on in later courses… However, a few suggestions… 1. A light organ, such as those commonly used by musicians (see past project) 2. Playing song or a small piece of music (see demo) 3. Car odometer prototype – speed (rpm) comes from motor, displays on LCD 4. A temperature-controlled oven or refrigerator 5. A sonic range-finder 6. A system to measure the interval between successive hand claps 7. A system to measure the duration of a hand clap 8. A tachometer 9. A weighing scale 10. An electronic game such as Ping Pong - to launch a ping-pong ball from a standstill, race down field, stop, and catch the ping-pong ball again 11. An electronic game such as Simon Says, Laser pointer, etc. 12. A system with an LCD display with a keypad for entering data 13. A digital calculator 14. A random noise and number generator 15. A digital voltmeter, ammeter, ohmmeter, or wattmeter 16. A small (child) monitoring system or surveillance system 17. A Dual Tone Multi-Frequency generator like the ones used in touch-tone phones 18. No more digital clock, or alarm clock 19. Chapter 21: Projects Programming and Customizing the PIC Microcontroller – Myke Predko 3E (UofS library has one copy - TJ223 .P76P737 2008. 20.
