Lab 4: Designing a Voltmeter Project Description: You will be using the process laid out in the Lab-in-a-Box textbook, the information given in the weekly lecture, and your own knowledge of circuits to design a voltmeter on your ANDY board. Specific requirements for the implementation of your design are listed in the textbook, Voltmeter Experiment Concerning this lab, the TAs will help you with specific questions you may have about the theory of the design or the components themselves. TAs will NOT do your design for you. It is also important to know that there is not one “correct” implementation that will give you full credit, nor are you guaranteed an A simply because your design “works.” You should demonstrate how you created your circuit in this report. Report Guidelines: For this lab there are no individual questions to complete. Instead you will prepare a formal report discussing the project, and describing and defending your important design decisions. Your report should be 2-3 pages long, double-spaced, and include AT A MINIMUM the following sections: Introduction Here you should give an overview of the problem you are attempting to solve, and comment on why this application is worthwhile. Design Considerations This section should discuss how you analyzed the problem and broke your design up into manageable parts. You should mention how you decided of your solution and you should potentially discuss alternative design options. Defend your design. Discuss why your specific implementation is better than any others you may have considered. You should include any equations you used and example of one calculation for each equation. Do not show every calculation. Design Limitations Briefly discuss the factors in this experiment that limit the effectiveness of your design. You may be restricted by components, physical space, power, etc. State clearly how these aspects have affected your finished product and any potential improvements that would be possible without these limitations.
