Task definitions: (deliverables in parentheses)

1. Protobd sys: Construction of ($20 oscilloscope prototype on protoboard)

1.1 Def funcs: Define functions $20 oscilloscope will have, (specs list)

1.2 Schem: Draw (schematic) of complete $20 oscilloscope circuit

1.3 uP pwr up: Demonstrate functionality of microcontroller by monitoring clock signal, (snapshot of clock-signal waveform using scope in lab)

1.4 Dev sys test: Bring up development system and verify its operation, (demo: download simple program to exercise I/O pin; hard copy of demo code)

1.5 Min I/O test: Download minimal program to microcontroller to operate simple I/O signal, (snapshot of I/O signal waveform using scope in lab)

1.6 A/D demo: Demonstrate functionality of A/D on microcontroller by outputting binary value from A/D reading of constant voltage, (live demo with LED on microcontroller output [reading out value sequentially] and tap of potentiometer acting as input voltage source)

1.7 Display demo: Demonstrate ability to produce graphics on LCD display driven by microcontroller, (display circle and square on LCD display, driven by microcontroller)

1.8 Full func: Demonstrate all functions from specs, (live demo using function generator signals as inputs)

2. Wire wrap system: Fully system implemented in wire wrap, (same demo as 1.8)

3. Document: All project documentation, (report, budget, schematic, user's manual)
