Corning Community College ENGR1050 C for Engineers ======PROJECT: Explore A Project (EAP0)====== =====OBJECTIVE===== Explore some new component from the electronics kit: construct and test a circuit, demonstrate operations with software. =====PROCESS===== Do note, the productive way to go about this project involves taking the following steps: * starting early * reading the project page * asking questions regarding things you do not know, are not clear on, or are confused about * as information, concepts, processes become clear, that is something you can contribute to the project documentation (so you can better remember) If you start too late, and do not ask questions, and do not have enough time and don't know what is going on, you are not doing the project correctly. =====TASK===== This is part one of a sequence: decide on some project you’d like to pursue, this project lays the groundwork of understanding of individual components. * Part 1: Select some component(s) to explore (circuit and program to demo) * Part 2: integrate together on some new circuit with other components (circuit and program to demo) * Part 3: Finished product (circuit, program) Peruse the [[https://lab46.g7n.org/downloads/tutorial.pdf|Freenove tutorial PDF]], generate ideas, don’t bite off more than you can chew (considering you have about 3 weeks). And document your selection, progress, and final results on the project documentation page! =====GRABIT===== No grabit for this project: you should be able to reference previous project demos and create working programs from what you’ve used and what you’ve learned. It would be highly recommended to create a **eap0/** directory in your repository, alongside your other projects, and perhaps to call your program **eap0.c** The **Makefile** from other projects can be adapted to work with your current endeavour (would only need to change perhaps one line near the top of the **Makefile** in a text editor). =====EDIT===== You will want to go [[/notes/c4eng/fall2023/projects/eapX|here]] to edit and fill in the various sections of the document: * [[/notes/c4eng/fall2023/projects/eapX|https://lab46.g7n.org/notes/c4eng/fall2023/projects/eapX]] {{page>notes:c4eng:fall2023:projects:eapX&nouser&nodate&nomdate}} =====SUBMISSION===== To be successful in this project, the following criteria (or their equivalent) must be met: * Project must be submit on time, by the deadline. * Late submissions will lose 33% credit per day, with the submission window closing on the 3rd day following the deadline. * All code must compile cleanly (no warnings or errors) * Compile with the **-Wall** and **--std=gnu18** compiler flags * all requested functionality must conform to stated requirements (either on this document or in a comment banner in source code files themselves). * Executed programs must display in a manner similar to provided output * output formatted, where applicable, must match that of project requirements * Processing must be correct based on input given and output requested * Output, if applicable, must be correct based on values input * Code must be nicely and consistently indented * Code must be consistently written, to strive for readability from having a consistent style throughout * Code must be commented * Any "to be implemented" comments **MUST** be removed * these "to be implemented" comments, if still present at evaluation time, will result in points being deducted. * Sufficient comments explaining the point of provided logic **MUST** be present * No global variables (without instructor approval), no goto statements, no calling of main()! * Track/version the source code in your lab46 semester repository * Submit a copy of your source code to me using the **submit** tool (**make submit** on lab46 will do this) by the deadline. ====Submit Tool Usage==== Let's say you have completed work on the project, and are ready to submit, you would do the following (assuming you have a program called uom0.c): lab46:~/src/SEMESTER/DESIG/PROJECT$ make submit You should get some sort of confirmation indicating successful submission if all went according to plan. If not, check for typos and or locational mismatches. =====RUBRIC===== I'll be evaluating the project based on the following criteria: 78:eap0:final tally of results (78/78) *:eap0:clean compile of code, no compiler messages [16/16] *:eap0:picture of working test circuit posted to class discord [16/16] *:eap0:code adequately initializes and tests, operates component [16/16] *:eap0:code tracked in lab46 semester repo [14/14] *:eap0:project documentation page updated with pertinent information [16/16] ===Pertaining to the collaborative authoring of project documentation=== * each class member is to participate in the contribution of relevant information and formatting of the documentation * minimal member contributions consist of: * near the class average edits (a value of at least four productive edits) * near the average class content change average (a value of at least 256 bytes (absolute value of data content change)) * near the class content contribution average (a value of at least 1kiB) * no adding in one commit then later removing in its entirety for the sake of satisfying edit requirements * adding and formatting data in an organized fashion, aiming to create an informative and readable document that anyone in the class can reference * content contributions will be factored into a documentation coefficient, a value multiplied against your actual project submission to influence the end result: * no contributions, co-efficient is 0.50 * less than minimum contributions is 0.75 * met minimum contribution threshold is 1.00 ===Additionally=== * Solutions not abiding by spirit of project will be subject to a 50% overall deduction * Solutions not utilizing descriptive why and how comments will be subject to a 25% overall deduction * Solutions not utilizing indentation to promote scope and clarity or otherwise maintaining consistency in code style and presentation will be subject to a 25% overall deduction * Solutions not organized and easy to read (assume a terminal at least 90 characters wide, 40 characters tall) are subject to a 25% overall deduction
