TOPIC OUTLINE:  Project Background  Design Challenges  Important Decisions  Risks  Milestones  Conclusion

PROJECT BACKGROUND  What is project battLEDship?  A touch LED version of the classic game Battleship®!  Why build it?  How will it be built?  RGB LEDs  Phototransistor sensors  Printed circuit boards  Arduino

DESIGN CHALLENGES  FIGURING OUT HOW LED BOARDS WILL COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER  CUSTOMIZATION OF THE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS  ARDUINO CONNECTIONS WITH INPUT AND OUTPUTS  SOFTWARE

IMPORTANT DECISIONS  SMD versus THROUGH HOLE LEDs  PUSHBUTTON versus REFLECTIVE sensor  USE OF ARDUINO

RISKS  SENSORS  SURFACE MOUNTED LEDS  CODING  MICROCONTROLLER  BOARDS

MILESTONES  FINAL BUDGET – 9/23/2013  BASIC PROGRAM CODE COMPLETE – 10/12/2013  LED/SENSOR BASEBOARDS COMPLETE – 10/31/2013  PROGRAM CODE FOR BOARD CONNECTION COMPLETE – 10/31/2013  LED/SENSOR UPPER BOARDS COMPLETE – 11/15/2013  HARDWARE CONNECTION – 12/6/2013  SOFTWARE/HARDWARE CONNECTION – 1/24/2014
