Project 15

Project 15: Bits & Bytes

Background

You constructed an alarm system in a previous chapter. In this project, you are to first write an integrated circuit logic program for an alarm system that is a real system. For example, a buzzer that goes off on the oven when it has reached a programmed temperature. Second, you are to modify that program and write a modified integrated circuit logic program of the modification. Third present your results to the class (oral presentation). Fourth, hand in the original and modified alarm logic programs to the instructor.

Goal

  • To study an existing computer application and then propose and detail a new application.

Project Rules

  1. Students must type their papers on a computer.

  2. No hand written parts

  3. Even the Logic Diagram symbols must be done by computer.

  4. The modified integrated circuit logic program must be on a separate sheet of paper than the original logic program.

What needs to be done?

  1. Write an integrated circuit logic program for an alarm system that is a real system.

    • Include

      • A typed "if, then" statement

      • All four steps of the logic solution

    • For example, a buzzer that goes off on the oven when it has reached a programmed temperature.

  2. You are to modify that program and write a modified integrated circuit logic program of the modification.

    • Include

      • A typed "if, then" statement

      • All four steps of the logic solution

  3. Present your results to the class (oral presentation).

  4. Hand in the original and modified alarm logic programs to the instructor.

    • Each on a separate sheet of paper

    • Each with a typed "if, then" statement

    • Each with the four steps of the logic solution

.Grading the Project
