State Machine Baby Monitor Homework

[John Pinares]

Hey everyone. I'm having trouble with this homework assignment. Here it is:

A baby monitor system detects motion using a sensor (A0=1). The system should
sound an alarm (B0=1) if no motion is detected for at least 60 seconds. A button
(A1) or detected motion resets the system.

Im supposed to design this using state machines on the RIBS software. Right now if no motion is detected for 60 seconds the alarm sounds, as normal, but when i trigger motion (A0) or the reset button (A1), it waits the full 60 seconds for the alarm to turn of (B0=0). How can I fix that so that it turns off as soon as A0 || A1? Here is my SM, I set the period to 6 sec instead of 60 for the sake of testing. Thanks in advance

You should have a timer say T0. The timer should start on system boot. The motion is detected by A0 = 1. If the timer runs for 60 seconds and during this time motion is not detected then alarm should sound which is B0 = 1 but if motion is detected by A0 = 1 during this 60 seconds or if button A1 is pressed (A1 = 1) then Timer should restart and alarm should stop.

Algorithm


Start Timer

If 60 sec passed && no baby motion > sound alarm

else if motion detected || button pressed > restart Timer

Okay so I'm having trouble with "else if motion detected || button pressed > restart Timer" I'm guessing that transition goes from the NoMotion state to Motion, but maybe my code is wrong or I havent set up the timer correctly? heres what i have:

I did something like this but it doesn't work.

S1 is initial state and it will be there until msec < 6 sec and A0 = 1

It goes to Buzz state if msec > 6 sec and A0 remains 0 (no motion)

In Buzz state (B0 = 1) it remains there for 3 sec and then comes back to s1 state and before coming back to s1 state it resets msec to 0 and B0 to 0 (Buzz Off)
