Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

Fetherstill Inc. is seeking the development of a basic interface to connect their Battery Management System (BMS) to any local PC. The primary goal of this project is to enable users to observe and edit data from the BMS through a user-friendly interface. This project will allow learners to apply their knowledge of software development, user interface design, and data communication protocols. The interface should be intuitive, reliable, and capable of displaying real-time data from the BMS while also allowing users to make necessary adjustments. The project will involve tasks such as designing the user interface, establishing communication between the BMS and the PC, and ensuring data integrity and security.



Key tasks include:


- Designing a user-friendly graphical interface.


- Implementing data communication protocols between the BMS and the PC.


- Ensuring real-time data display and edit functionalities.


- Testing and debugging the interface for reliability and security.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

The project deliverables will include a fully functional interface that connects the BMS to a local PC, along with comprehensive documentation and a user manual. The interface should be capable of displaying real-time data and allowing users to edit BMS settings. Additionally, a final report detailing the development process, challenges faced, and solutions implemented will be required.



Key deliverables include:


- A working BMS-PC interface application.


- Comprehensive documentation and user manual.


- A final report on the development process and outcomes.
