This document describes a student project to design a microwave oven system with the following key capabilities:
1. It has 5 power levels and allows the user to set the cooking time in increments of 10 seconds, minutes or 10 minutes.
2. The timer counts down and displays the remaining time. The door locks when cooking starts and opens when cooking is aborted.
3. Pressing stop once aborts cooking but does not clear the timer. A second press clears the timer. A buzzer sounds when time reaches zero and stops when stop is pressed.
4. A quick start option sets power to 100% and time to 30 seconds, incrementing by 30 seconds with additional start presses.
