For the state machine assignment I thought I should do something relevant to my final project. This is the state machine representing my Night Table idea. I simplified it a little. When the room is bright, the table is in its off state. When the room is dark, the table initializes and starts a series of actions which is shown in the state machine. The 4(? or is waiting not considered a state..anyway) states are 1. Table lights are off 2. Table lights are DIM 3. Table lights are BRIGHT 4. waiting. Night Table State Machine Schematic

Schedule for rest of Spring ‘08 semester
Tuesday, March 25, 2008: Term project proposals due. If your term project continues your mid-term project, update the mid-term project proposal to reflect what you have learned since you wrote it. (If you haven’t learned anything since then, that’s a problem).Thursday, March 27, 2008: (for those in the 12 unit (graduate level) version of the course): A “related work” section of your term paper (first draft, expect feedback) and list of references (include author, source, page numbers, and/or URL) of work mentioned in the related work section of the paper.
Thursday, March 28, 2008: State machine demonstrations in class. Show (and be prepared to explain) the state machine hardware and software you built; state diagram included.
April 15, 2008: Term projects due (!!). Really. Demonstrate your working term project.
date TBD, finals week (May 5-9), 2008: Term project show.
