Status Report # 1Home Security Wire Protection System
Ronald, Robert, Orlando, JaimeAn interfacing module to communicate with
previously designed protective case.
Overall Need and Design Milestones
• OVERALL NEED: To protect the communication lines of any home security system preventing intrusion.
• DESIGN MILESTONES:Develop Detailed Schematics for interface (On going)Receive sample code and sample products from Mr. Poston (Mid February)Order a Development Board for PIC Microcontroller so as not to waste time
manufacturing our own ( 1/29/09)Meet with Travis Poston for updates on UL certification and other business
oriented happenings. (1/31/09)
Completed Tasks
• Phone Conference with Mr. Poston where we received vital information concerning sample code and possible free products. (1/22/09)
• Worked on Coding ideas as well as researched Modem interfacing and PIC Design (1/23/09)
• Researched and discussed possible backup power supplys (1/22/09)
Pending/Ongoing Tasks
• Develop Functional Code to link modem with microcontroller.
• Test protective case in all possible environments it might encounter.
• Develop Comparator circuit to trigger on a change in current received from a damaged or removed case.
Tasks to Begin Next Week
• Begin writing code in C language for PIC (2/4/09)
• Receive Information from Mr. Poston concerning UL guidelines (2/3/09)
• Begin intensively testing case in multiple environments. (2/6/09)
