Content:
We will negotiate targets and effort of our project during a "kick-off meeting". We can concentrate more on software development using National Instruments "CVI" (close to ANSI-C, see www.ni.com) or more on electronic circuit design using EAGLE (see www.cadsoft.de). In case of a sufficient number of participants one group can develop software and another will design hardware. Knowledge is being transferred in a dynamic mixture out of lectures and practical, project oriented work.
