====== 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
    * Division of functions at the system level (e.g. [[https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/EVA-Prinzip|IPO principle]])
    * 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:

  * For screen capturing, the built-in Windows 10 tool Windows Game Bar can be used (%%<Win> + G%% --> "Capture" window --> start recording). \\ Recording can also be started directly with %%<Alt> + <Win> + R%%.
  * For editing, you can use, for example, the [[https://www.chip.de/downloads/Microsoft-Expression-Encoder_25755190.html|Microsoft Expression Encoder]] or [[https://obsproject.com/de/download|OBS Studio]].

====== 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 [[Vorgaben für die Softwareentwicklung|Requirements for Software Development]], especially the evaluation XLS file.
