Presentation
For each project, 8-10 minutes are allocated for the presentation (group of two) or 12-15 minutes (group of three).
It would be good to include the following content:
Brief introduction of the project
-
Brief overview of the electronics (= circuit in Simulide)
Software concept (please use code lines sparingly in the presentation; an overview such as a flowchart is better)
Results (if there were technical difficulties, these can also be shown from a technical perspective)
What did you learn that other groups should know? (but
not: developing good software takes longer than you think - everyone should have noticed that by now

)
Please note that
for a 10-minute presentation, 20 slides are definitely too many – 5 to 10 slides should be sufficient.
lines of code and circuits are usually too small/complex to be readable on a slide.
Please show simplified overviews instead. A board layout (if relevant) is often not a problem as long as it does not contain elements that are too small and detailed.
It would be great to include a little joke or fun element. This loosens up the presentation and is especially suitable at the beginning or the end, for example as a hook for the project.
Your electronic system should also be shown “live” - ideally in operation or in a way that illustrates the function (e.g. measurement with an oscilloscope, input with a function generator, substitution of boards). In most cases, this presentation fits well after the results.
Keep an eye on the time!
Possible Software for Creating a Video
If you would like to include short video clips, the following tips may help you:
Submission
Please note the following instructions for submitting the final software.
Please submit the following components:
Project folder from Microchip Studio
Developed simulation (*.simu)
Short text explaining how to use the software in the simulation.
For complex state machines in the code, a flowchart may be useful (if the description in the code is too cumbersome)
Please remove files that are not necessary, i.e. leave out old, unused files and old versions if you created any.
Submission is via
https://git.mexle.org/
Place all files from the Microchip Studio folder in GitLab in your project under the folder “91. Code Submission”.
Check whether these files can be used to build runnable code in a new project.
If anything special has to be considered (e.g. defining new compiler symbols such as F_
CPU), this should be included in the program description (comment in the code) or in a separate text file.
Please note the Requirements for Software Development, especially the evaluation XLS file.
