Gantt Chart. Time to Completion. Days

Transcription

1 Gantt Chart The proposed project work will begin on January 16 th with a goal of completion set for May 7 th. The work has been laid out as M-F with 4 hours of work per day. Several tasks over lap in both days and phases. This was done to maximize efficiency. The overall phase breakdown can be seen in the figure below. Time to Completion Documentation Fabrication Testing HW Implementation Design Research Figure 1: DFBCS Gantt Chart The research phase will consist of component identification and selection. Also each feature will be researched thoroughly to see if its application in our design for a classic car is feasible. Each of these tasks shown will require the elaboration of the problem, then with the decision for our solution.

2 Research Phase System Interfacing Operation Security Communication Protocol Power Programming Selection Remote Selection Frequency Antenna Integration Selection Features Development board Signals PCB - Micrcontroller Voltage and current regulation Sensing Existing Wiring Harness Non-Essentrial Acc Battery Essential Acc Power selections fuse Fuse Fuse Painless Wiring Harnesses Circuit Components Current / Temp Constraints Size Constraints Display Resolutions Text Field Size Figure 2: Research Phase Gantt Chart Next is the design phase, which will consist of the design of each component and feature. During this phase we will layout our complete system. Several tasks take place on the same set of days, this is due to their research being closely related, but the multi-tasking will be watched closely.

3 Design Phase Remote PCB Add-on System Inerfacing µc Programming Remote Antenna Memory Size MPC ColdFire Programming Architecture Programming Structure Wiring Connection Component Layout Trace Layout Power Sources Bat. / Alt Voltages and Currents Required Amps PCB Harness Wiring Clamps RS Connections Figure 3: Design Phase Gantt Chart The hardware implementation phase is next. It is based heavily on the procurement of items and testing/implementing them on a breadboard for both proof of concept and testing before fabrication. This timeline can be seen in the figure below. This phase has the greatest potential for delaying our project since it depends heavily on awaiting ordered components.

It will primarily consist of testing the design with a car and making sure it behaves as it should. Also each component will be tested during construction to allow for less major problems during the overall phase. This timetable can be seen in the figure below.

5 Testing Phase LCD: User Interface Signal Control No Infinite Loops No Memory Leaks Connectivity PWR CTRL CKT: Correct PWR Signal Cond. CKT: Correct Signals (M-F Starting 01/16/07) Figure 5: Testing Phase Gantt Chart Fabrication phase is next, this is the part of the project when we have a working design but it needs to be professionally fabricated for the final deliverable for submission. This phase includes all the aesthetics production. The timeline can be seen below.

This phase will produce the final write up for delivery to our sponsor. It will consist of producing a manual and manufacturing instructions. This will show our results and work the best for our sponsors. This is shown in the figure below.
