Virtual Lab Project Overview at University of Connecticut

This virtual lab project at UConn involves improving hardware and software models for testing. Hardware requires creating modular boards with secure wiring, while software involves dynamic code changes and server setup. Deadlines include securing wiring and finalizing parts by Sep 23 and 30 respectively.

  2. Table of Contents • Project Overview • Abstraction of Module 1 (Hardware) • Abstraction of Module 2 (Software) • Hardware Model and Requirements • Software Model and Requirements • Upcoming Deadlines

  3. Hardware Model and Requirements • The current hardware model includes replicating the current first generation board into a total of 10-20 boards • We have found some problems with the first generation board, namely fragility. The wires need to be more secure. • We will create an array of boards with a modular mounting bracket/base. • The boards will be connected to the server by a modular bus. The bus will communicate with a microcontroller that dictates which board is enabled for input. • We also need to switch the output to the oscilloscope, i.e. connect the oscilloscope probe to the bus

  4. Hardware Model and Requirements • Fig. Proposed Hardware Model

  5. Hardware Model and Requirements • Hardware Requirements/ Items to be bought: • Boards • Brackets • Bus Interface • Microcontroller to switch between boards • Use of spare computer to be reformatted as a dedicated server, or a new computer

  6. Software Model and Requirements • The software portion of the project will entail changes in the code to support 10-20 boards • Python code must be modified to allow for dynamic changes in voltage specifications for leakage test (for within a tolerance) • The server will use Microsoft Server OS (free for students) • The server must store the identifier of each chip and the engineer must put each identified chip in the correct slot • A Microcontroller must be programmed to select along the bus

  7. Upcoming Deadlines and Goals • Make the First Generation Board wiring more secure • Parts research • Sep 23 (M) Project Statements Due • Sep 30 (M) Project Specifications Due
