Weeks 11 and 12 we basically just tried to research on how to connect our throttle cut off system to an existing drive by wire throttle system car and where we will connect it on the circuit diagram. We met Simon a few times to try and figure out how we will achieve what we want and are still stuck on making the circuit. Once we make the circuit on paper, if we have enough time we will make the circuit on multisim and try and simulate our combined system of Warning Light, Buzzer and Throttle Cut off.
However I feel that we should be able to find out whether we will be able make a simulation on multisim in the deadline or not. We decided not to use picaxe chip as it requires a lot of programming and instead are going to try and connect the system using logic gates which are already programmed into a 555 timer chip. We feel that it will be a bit easier to do that and we 'should' be able to achieve the same results without having to learn programming in a small amount of time.
