FINAL PROJECT
1. Instructions
a) Each group of 3 members will choose a topic mentioned in the table in section 2.
b) Define Objectives and Scope:
• Objective: Clearly state what your project aims to achieve. Example: "Build a
smart parking system that displays available parking slots."
• Scope: Outline project limitations (e.g., only 4 parking slots, wired
communication).
c) Create a Work Plan:
• Timeline: Divide tasks into phases (design, development, testing,
documentation).
• Milestones: Set key deliverables, such as completing the circuit or integrating
sensors.
d) Design the System:
• Hardware Design
o Create a block diagram to visualize inputs, processing, and outputs.
o Design the circuit using Proteus.
o Select and test sensors, modules, and actuators.
• Software Design
o Write the logic flow as pseudocode or flowchart.
o Choose libraries and protocols (e.g., UART for communication, I2C for
sensors).
o Define how the microcontroller interacts with peripherals.
e) Develop the Prototype:
• Hardware Assembly
o Connect components on a breadboard for testing.
o Verify connections with a multimeter to prevent short circuits.
o Use a soldering iron to make permanent connections on a PCB (if necessary).
• Software Programming
o Write and debug the code.
o Test individual modules.
f) Test the System:
• Test each subsystem (e.g., sensor, actuator) independently.
• Integrate the subsystems and test for overall functionality.
• Record test results, noting success rates and any errors.
g) Optimize and Finalize:

• Identify and fix inefficiencies in hardware or software.

• Optimize power consumption and response time.
• Ensure the system meets the project’s objectives.
h) Document the Project:
• Prepare a comprehensive report that includes:
o Introduction and objectives.
o Hardware and software design details.
o Testing results and analysis.
o Challenges and solutions.
• Include clear schematics, flowcharts, and code documentation.
i) Prepare a Presentation:
• Create a professional presentation with:
o Project overview.
o Key design decisions.
o Results and outcomes.
o Challenges and lessons learned.
• Demonstrate the working prototype during the presentation.
j) Submit the Project:
• Submit all required deliverables (code, documentation, and hardware setup).
• Ensure the system is functional and ready for demonstration.
k) General Tips:
• Start Early: Allocate sufficient time for debugging and documentation.
• Collaborate: Divide tasks effectively if working in a team.
• Test Frequently: Test hardware and software at every stage.
• Seek Feedback: Regularly consult your instructor or peers for guidance.
