To Cover

  • Multiplexing and demultiplexing
  • Uses
  • Other uses (e.g. Teabox, audio interfaces, etc.)
  • Disadvantages

Ramifications

  • Using many more than the normal range of inputs and outputs from the Arduino, but not without some cost to responsiveness under some circumstances.



to top of page The Task

  • This is not a weighted task, but you're encouraged to complete it if only to increase your confidence and knowledge.

  • Clearly, I don't want you to submit your Arduinos. That means you need to submit some 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, as well as of the code running. 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 more interesting your files. Simply repeating what we've already done will get minimal marks. So try each patch out in various ways. For instance, even if the task just involves a blinking LED, try using patterns of colours and/or timings.

  • Zip or Stuff your patches, demos, photos, videos etc. into one file called your_student_number_"multiplex" (e.g. 0504335_multiplex.zip), include a readme with your name and student number and, if necessary, how to use or just open the patch, and submit the whole thing to WebCT.
  • Keep a copy of the task and submit to the i-Centre on Tuesday 10th May 2016

The Projects

The projects and tasks are designed to help you through the various courses and materials that you'll have to deal with, and also to provide an active and practical element to what could otherwise become a rather dry and technical exercise. Tasks are small exercises - you may be asked to complete one or two per week. Projects are larger and carry a higher percentage of the mark. We will undertake two, three, four or more projects and tasks. The final project is usually an individual choice project, and will be worth significantly more than the others in terms of percentages in your portfolio. We will usually try to set aside a time to perform the projects in a public setting.
