tips on final year project

hello
i have an idea in my mind for my final year project and need some help from you.
we are doing a project in the embedded system field.
we are doing a flood monitoring system using zigbee.this projects will help reduce the water level in flood prone areas using pumps and the communication between the pumps and the control room will be done using zigbee .so please tell me how to get started

  • Divide and conquer.

    Design hardware that detects flooding.

    Implement code that boots processor and prints "hello" to a debug port.

    Extend code to support your flooding sensor.

    Design hardware that controls a pumb.

    Extend code to be able to start and stop the pumps, and also monitors if a pump actually works.

    Design hardware that interfaces the zigbee module.

    Extend code to support that zigbee. Start by sending simple messages and then extend the code.

    Add some hardware and/or other logic for your solution to generate alarms if it thinks something is wrong - flooding sensors not seeming to work, pumps not running when requested to, zigbee communication down, backup power system disconnected or requiring charging or battery replacement, ...

    Of course, backup power may be irrelevant since the pumps will probably require huge amounts of power.
