this is not so much a technical question but it is a question of experience as an engineer.
in developing a project, for example say a precision parking robot incorporating the use of an ADC from an analog sensor and the control of motors using PWM, the scope of analysis would be:
1)the resolution of the ADC-how much resolution really is needed for the specified precision?
2) the timing analysis between the reception of an input to the actuation of the motors at the output to carry out the precise parking whilst avoiding accidents.
3) the usual power consumption calculations
4) the actuation of PWM control- the manipulation of PWM to acquire the required actuation of the motors..
and etc.......
Now let's look at a totally different field. say the design of a data communication link between a GSM Module and a microcontroller. Besides, the rate at which the communication is conducted, the hardware involved for the required communication, what are the aspects of analysis that should be performed to show the feasibility of the project?
to be honest, im doing this analysis for a dissertation and would really appreciate the advice of the "seasoned" engineers out there in this matter.
Many thanks=)
