Class 16: AppleFanning

Action Items

Problem Set 3 is due Monday, 28 October. (As students noted in class today, England qualified for the world cup during the PS3 assignment, so the class holiday extends the deadline for PS3 to Tuesday, 29 October at 11:59pm.)

Everyone should have received an email with their midterm results (and other recorded grades so far). If you didn't get it, send me email ([email protected]). If you already sent me email but didn't get a response yet, please let me know after class today.

Project

4 Nov: Project Proposals (more details posted soon)

18 Nov: Project Design Reviews

5 Dec: Project Demos

Do something that is fun (for you to do, and others to see), relevant (to the class), technically interesting (to you and me), and useful (at least to you, hopefully to many). You probably can’t maximize all of these! It is okay to sacrifice one or two of them to increase others. A good project should be strong on at least 2 of these, which is much better than being mediocre of all four.

Examples

The examples are provided to hopefully give you some ideas for the kinds of things that might be possible, but you should not view them as guidelines or suggestions. Also, note that you have a lot more time (almost six weeks compared to 2-3) and background than these students, so should be able to do something much better.

      * config register to make the PWM match the requested speed.

      * the speed config register (which, in automatic control mode,
      * sets the minimum speed at which the fan runs when the current
      * remote temp exceeds Tmin).  Then, we program the speed config
      * register with speed - 1 ; that is, one less than the value that
      * was passed in by doUpdate().  It may seem less than intuitive
      * to program the speed config register with 0 when we want speed
      * 1, just remember that the difference is made by Tmin -- is the
      * fan operating below the linear range (PWM completely inactive),

     // 2.  The fan is currently in the linear range, but we are about

Is the mapping between sensed temperature and fan level really linear? What code should replace the while loop to set the fan speed?
