to top of page The Task

  • This is not a weighted task as the required hardware modules can be quite expensive. However, successfully attempting the task will improve your confidence quite significantly.
  • Develop a simple demonstration use of this.

    Added Value

  • Completing the basics of the task will get you a basic pass mark. Try to develop other ways of implementing or extending the task for bonus marks up to 70 and beyond.
  • Clearly, I don't want you to submit your Arduinos. You need to submit sufficient appropriate documentary evidence that you've completed your task. The most obvious way to do this is to submit some sort of video of your task working. If you can't do this, take photos. Bear in mind that you'll get extra marks for 'added value', so try to adapt and make your project more interesting. Simply repeating what we've already done will get minimal marks (if it works).

Submission

  • Zip or Stuff your patches, demos, etc. into one file called your_student_number_"auduino" (e.g. 0504335_auduino.zip), include a readme with your name and student number and, if necessary, how to use or just open the patch.
  • Keep a copy of the task and submit to the i-Centre on Monday 19th December 2016
