Schedule

Our group will be working on this project throughout the summer of 2018 all the way up to presentation day in December. Below is a list of milestones we aiming to complete. With each milestone are two dates representing the time-frame our team plans to work on the milestone.

Milestones

Finish Eagle schematic for custom board

      • Milestone Lead: Danny Campbell
      • Testing Strategy: Ensure our Eagle schematic has all recommended circuitry and matches the specifications outlined in the STN and particle data sheets.
      • Present - September 4, 2018

Develop Windows application complete with many graphical interfaces to interpret OBD2 data

      • Milestone Lead: Kale Thompson
      • Testing Strategy: Supply the program with a number of tests that simulate stress and edge case tests. Use the program over a period of time to try and spot and fix bugs before demo day.
      • Present - November 10, 2018

Design and 3D print physical case for PCB

      • Milestone Lead: Josh Vidmar
      • Testing Strategy: Research popular and secure ways of designing cases for circuitry. Develop and produce several test cases using cheaper materials to see what problems arise during the 3D printing process.
      • Present - October 31, 2018

Create prototype board based off custom PCB schematic

      • Milestone Lead: Whole team
      • Testing Strategy: Test the prototype board in the lab with the different OBD2 protocols with the simulator
      • September 4, 2018 - September 21, 2018

Develop software for the reading and transmission of OBD2 data to Particle Cloud

      • Milestone Lead: Kale Thompson
      • Testing Strategy: Use the OBD2 simulator to send a CAN transmissions to the prototype board and ensure the correct data arrives in the cloud
      • September 4, 2018 - September 21, 2018

Order and solder custom PCB for our STN chip

      • Milestone Lead: Josh Vidmar
      • Testing Strategy: Ensure the layout of the board is correct to prevent incorrect behavior and to keep the size efficient
      • September 21, 2018 - October 14, 2018

Integration of custom PCB with Particle Microcontroller/Cellular board & Vehicle

      • Milestone Lead: Danny Campbell
      • Testing Strategy: Test the custom PCB with the OBD2 simulator first to ensure correct behavior, and then test with an actual vehicle
      • October 14, 2018 - October 31, 2018

Mobile App (Maybe)

      • Milestone lead: Whole Team
      • Testing Strategy: If time permits towards the end of the project, we will research and develop a mobile app using the pre-existing code from our C# application as a model.
      • October 31, 2018 - Presentation Day
