What do students need to do for AS 91375?

1. Use provided sensors and actuators to build a functional interfacing system in the electronic environment (like light sensors reading a path or motors controlling shutters) 2. Write software code that processes sensor data and controls the actuators (including things like converting analogue signals to digital data) 3. Test your system thoroughly and fix any bugs so the interface actually works as specified 4. Demonstrate understanding of how sensors and actuators work together to meet the given specifications

Electronic interfacing

Q: What's the difference between Achieved, Merit, and Excellence for AS 91375?

Achieved: You implement a working system where sensors and actuators interact correctly through your software, and you test it to show it meets the basic specifications. Merit: You modify the sensor or actuator hardware and write clean, commented code that improves the quality of the interface—showing you understand why changes matter and can explain them. Excellence: You make significant improvements to the hardware and software that substantially improve how well the system works, with well-structured code and thorough testing that demonstrates noticeably better performance than the basic requirements.

You need to make a working electronic system that uses sensors to read information and actuators to control things—like a robot that follows a line or a greenhouse controller. You write software to connect everything together, then test and fix it until it works properly. The key is showing you understand both the hardware and software sides of how sensors and actuators communicate.
