•Rhythm-and-Hand Gesture Gaming Platform ▫Supports Gesture Detection▫Plays Music▫Provides Visual Display

Brief System Overview

ControllerMemory

PWM LCD IR Hardware Drivers

Hardware

•IR Sensors – captures hand gestures•LCD - displays timer, scoring and moves•Sound buzzer – plays PWM pitch tones

Voltage Regulator

•Regulates incoming 7.5 vdc to 5 vdc

•1A Max current limit•Capacitors to remove noise

in power source

IR Circuit

•Converts IR’s analog signal to digital

•Transistor acts as switch

Finger Detection Logic level at output

Detected (no IR light received)

5v or ‘High’

Not Detected (IR light received)

0v or ‘Low’

Buzzer High Pass Filter

•Logic ‘Low’ produces 0.3v atPWM0 output

•HPF used to remove this offset•Cutoff Frequency formula•fc= 15.9Khz•Audible range 20 to 20kHz

LCD Connections

•RT1602•2 rows x 16 columns•LCD using 4-bit data mode

Task Utilization Analysis• Processor Utilization Factor:

UP = = 0.300

Up ≤ 1 (schedulable)

• Utilization Least Upper Bound (1973, Liu and Layland):- Ulub

RM = n(21/2 - 1) = 0.735

- Case, for large n, n → ∞: Ulub → ln 2 ≈ 0.693

Since Up ≤Ulub in both cases, schedulable with RMA.

• Hyperbolic Bound (2000, Bini et al.):

• Hence the 6 periodic tasks are schedulable with RMA.
