This unit consists of the design of a mixed analogue and digital instrumentation system in order to build an ultrasonic distance meter and to provide additional experience in the design of microcomputer-based systems. The Projects unit reinforces the concepts covered by other units, rather than introducing new material. Elements: Ultrasonic Distance Meter - Laboratory work. Dr Krishna Coimbatore Balram and Dr Naim Dahnoun
Students work in groups for a project involving ultrasound transducer characterisation and measurements, design of transmitting and receiving amplifiers, becoming familiar with C language and Integrated Development Environment (IDE), programming a microcontroller and implementing time of flight algorithms.
On successful completion of the Ultrasonic Bottle Counter project, the student will be able to:
On successful completion of the “Wireless Orchestra” project, the student will be able to:
Laboratory classes
The Bottle Counter and Wireless Orchestra projects each account for 50% of the credit for the unit.
The Bottle Counter mark is split 3:7 between laboratory performance and an individual report.
The Wireless Orchestra mark is split 3:2 between the software produced (as a group) and an individual quiz.
Laboratory books will provide the information needed.
