Lab 9 - Final Project - Week 1 (PDR)

In this lab, you will invent a sensor system or your own choosing.  Have fun with this project.  Tie it to something that interests you (like a hobby, security application, etc.).  Keep it simple so you can finish in the 3 weeks ahead. 

Each week has a separate design requirement, which needs to be signed off by a TA (any TA).

From now until the end of the semester, Labs will be open for your general use.  TAs will be there to help with questions, and to sign off on your weekly design progress.  We will be using the Preliminary-Critical-Final Design Review (Links to an external site.) model that is commonly used in industry.  You can have any TA sign off on your weekly work, but please turn in your reports to your regular TA (either online or in the homework locker).

For your write-ups, please use the IEEE reference format: http://www.ieee.org/documents/ieeecitationref.pdf (Links to an external site.)

(**SPECIAL NOTE FOR FINAL PROJECT:  IF you want to use an op amp with Vcc and Ground as we did in the labs, use the LM324.  If you want to use one with +Vcc and -Vcc use the LF353)
