CM3040 Physical Computing and Internet-of-Things (IoT) CourseWork

IMPORTANT: your overall total word count should not exceed 2,500 words (weighted at 70% of the final mark for the module)

Coursework Description

The final end-of-term individual coursework consists of performing four key tasks.

1. The first task is to submit feedback on 3 of your peers’ projects on your course. This feedback is MANDATORY and will not impact peers’ final grades. However, it will allow your peers to enhance their projects and you the opportunity to learn from their proposal. DEADLINE – WEEK 12.
2. The second task is to develop your proposed IoT project and submit all the source code in a separate zip file.
3. The third task is to submit a report documenting and reflecting upon the project with a 2,500 max words limit.
4. The final task is to submit a maximum of 3-minute-long video, demonstrating the core features of your IoT project.

TASK 1: Peer Feedback (Pass/Fail)

Peer feedback should be submitted for 3 submissions.

This peer feedback is a MANDATORY component and should at least cover the following:

• A. Critical reflections/feedback on project idea clarity, strengths and weaknesses of allocated projects.
• B. Include suggestions on how to potentially enhance their proposal with suitable references to materials.
• C. Any inspirations that you learn from fellow peers and would incorporate in your own project.

Maximum 250 words per feedback.

TASK 2: System Implementation (30%)

Develop and implement the proposed functional and non-functional requirements set out for the IoT project in the first submission.

A. Document system development methodology employed, implementation details and justification of decisions taken throughout the project in the final report.

1. Screenshots of the final source code that is successfully compiled and deployed to all the microcontrollers should be included in the appendices.
2. Include instructions on how to develop the physical computing circuit with a circuit drawing and the components list should be included in the appendices.

B. Please ensure that your IoT project implementation adheres to the requirements set out in the initial submission and they are:

1. A maximum of 3 ESP-based microcontrollers nodes can be used for the project.
2. A minimum of 3 sensors and/or actuators should be used per node.
3. All source code should be compilable and developed using Arduino IDE ONLY.
4. All ESP-based microcontrollers nodes should be in-directly linked.
5. All ESP-based microcontrollers nodes should have a dashboard and respond to REST-based HTTP requests in a JSON format.
6. Supporting external libraries for Arduino IDE and commercial devices such as Smart Speakers (i.e., Alexa or Google Home) and one Raspberry Pi can be used but NOT mandatory.
7. Project-specific sensors and actuators outside the prerequisite kits can be purchased at their own cost but should be limited to a total of 3 components ONLY. Consult with the tutor if you require more.

C. All system source code files should be submitted as a single zip file.

1. All source code files should include multiline comments at the start of the program to provide an overview of the code, include relevant comments throughout the code and list all dependency libraries required.
2. A supporting circuit diagram image and pin connections information should be included.

TASK 3: Final Report (30%)

The final report should contain the following:

A. Description of each of the major components

Provide a clear explanation of the problem and objectives. Include a clear explanation of each of the major aspects of the product including a rationale for each of the design and implementation decisions. Include academic references throughout the report or where possible, to support your justifications/decisions and resources used.

B. Description of the development lifecycle

Provide clear evidence of the application of an appropriate software development methodology. Discussion of each of the major stages including how validation and verification were applied at each stage.

C. Critical analysis and reflection

Include a critical analysis and reflection of what went wrong and what was right throughout the project? What could be done differently next time? Appraisal of the product; analysis of the approach taken (with hindsight); analysis of software/tools used.

D. Presentation

In general, the report should be free of spelling errors and suitable grammar and consistent writing style should be adapted. Also, please ensure to include the following items to enhance the presentation of your report: table of contents, page numbers, referencing list, etc.

The structure for your final report should follow a similar structure to the initial submission but no duplicate submission. For example, the abstract, introduction, and proposal section can be revised and made concise while methodology, literature review, system design, test plan, and implementation progress can be revised or removed completely. Additional sections to fulfill the above objectives can be added such as evaluation results, implementation details, critical reflection, and conclusion.

TASK 4: Video Demonstration (10%)

The main goal of this video demonstration is to provide a short overview of your project and demonstrate the key features of your IoT project. This video serves a twofold purpose, to verify the functionality of your project and validate that it is your work.

You will not be marked on video editing skills, however, please see the following guidelines to support you further.

• A maximum of 3-minute-long video with a video quality of 720p+ should be submitted.
• The video should include a brief introduction to the project and a demonstration of all the major components of your IoT project.
• Video can include yourself or your voice-over as a minimum.
• No background music.
• Recommended video format is MP4.

Support: video recording and editing software

• Screen recording: Google chrome extension such as Screen recorder, and Screencastify – Screen Video Recorder
• Video editing tools such as free and paid-for versions are available
  • Open source: Shotcut, kdenlive,
  • Other: DaVinci, VideoPad, Movie Maker, VSDC, Openshot, IMovie, …

Some tips: a script can be written for each slide to introduce your project and prepare key features to demonstrate and record it in one take or multiple takes. You can use the above video editing tools to edit and merge the video clips into one final one to submit. Ensure to include your name in the video.
