| 10/15/2007 CLASSIC COMFORT “Merging the past with the present” DELIVERABLES A project deliverable is defined as an item that has value to our stakeholders. The stakeholders in the Classic Comfort project include our sponsor and contact Mr. Overholser of Painless Performance and our project technical advisor Professor George Wright. Deliverables will be presented to the project stakeholders throughout the lifetime of the project development. The deliverables will be used to assess the progress of the project. Weekly Status Reports Weekly status reports will be presented to our stakeholders providing them with up to date information on how the project is progressing throughout the semester. Detailed Parts List This list will contain the parts that will be used to populate our PCB board for our prototype. Circuit Schematic This circuit schematic will detail the circuit layout of the Classic Comfort device. PCB Layout Shows the layout of the PCB, including the parts and where they will be connected. Software Flow Chart This will describe the process that will be performed by the microcontroller. Source Code This is the implementation of the algorithm, written in the C programming language, which will run on a PIC microcontroller. Test Plan / Test Report This is the documented test plan in order to fully test the system and results. User’s Manual The user manual will provide basic installation instructions and diagrams as well as a troubleshooting guide for the customer. Functional Prototype This will be our final working prototype that we will present to our stakeholders for approval. Final Technical Report The final technical report will detail the entire project as a whole and be the basis of the ENTC 420 experience. 9
