¢ You need to design two finite state synchronous machines that you can demonstrate to your stakeholders. This would usually be the company lhiaison, but in this class the stakeholders are your (UG)TAs, classmates, family members, and instructors. ¢ The designs must be different in their functionality. ¢ You should comment on why your controller adds value from multiple perspectives (technological, societal, financial, environmental, etc.). One or two sentences is sufficient. e If something 1s not clearly documented in the summary, you need to make assumptions. The assumptions need to be documented. ¢ Please remember that you can design the state machines and add functionality to the design as you see fit. However, you need to collect feedback from at least three stakeholders. Again, stakeholders are your UGTAs, the lab TAs, family members, and the instructors. ¢ You should describe in a sentence or two how you changed your design based on the feedback you received. ¢ You can use D flip flops, T flip flops or J-K flip flops in your design. The type does not matter. Mixing different types of flip flops with different trigger edge sensitivity is possible but not recommended. ¢ You need to properly document your designs. If you do a “classic™ paper-based design, you need to include diagrams and state tables as well as K-Maps and logic. If you decide to go with a different implementation (ROM, HDL), you need to comment your code. You must have a schematic design in Digital which matches your simulation. ¢ You need to pick the best design and explain why it is the best. It is very helpful to have judgement metrics in mind, for example, number of states, features, ease of building, number of logic elements, your understanding of the design, or others that you can come up with. You need to define the weight of each of these metrics. That 1s, ease of building is worth 10 points, number of logic elements 20 points, number of states 40 points, etc. Award points to each design. For example, if one design 1s easier to build than the other, it might get 6 of the 10 points in the category while the other design gets the remaining 4. The design which has the highest point total is the best! Again, it 1s up to you to define the categories (mimimum of 5) and the number of points each category i1s worth. You must justify the points awarded with one sentence per category. (Do NOT write an essay!) ¢ You will need to simulate one design in Digital and show the simulation in your video. The simulation must demonstrate that you meet the rules and must also show how your assumptions modified the base specification. ¢ Ashort video, the contents of which were described above. ¢ Upload your completed template (which must include a link to your video) and a zip file of your capstone folder. Upload the template separately even if it is in your zip file. There will be a S-point deduction if your template is not submitted separately. Fall Version 0.1a 3
