Electronic Stopwatch and Countdown Timer
GCSE Technology & Design Coursework Assignment
The brief for this project was to design, manufacture, assemble and program an electronic system that would appeal to teenagers for their day-to-day interests. To satisfy the functional requirements of this product, I created a stopwatch and countdown timer system that could be used to keep time for different sporting events and competitions.
I invite you to look at the project portfolio attached below and available to download as a PDF.
