Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
In fabrication and assembly phase. Components are also being tested while being integrated.
Accomplishments from Previous Week
- Finished udated circuit diagram for electronic components (Jeanette)
- Worked on SD memory code (Jeanette)
- Wired triggers to cameras for microprocessor control (Vanna/Jamie)
- Created code for controlling cameras (Jamie)
-Threads added to end caps and nose cone. nose cone CNC'd (Tyler/Jamie...mostly Tyler)
-Machined/LaserCam pieces and assembled internal frame components (Everyone)
-Batteries and power management system up and running. Wired and configured to LEDs (Diana)
-LED mounts designed, fabricated and assembled (Diana/Vanna)
-Figured out how everything will be wired, al cables purchased. (diana)
-Signal on and off to battery system is wired and working with one light, 5 cameras.(diana)
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.

Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
-Fluid dynamics of full assembly performed in solidworks (Jamie)
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
Have contacted Steve Roberts to ask him about circuit diagram manufacturers. (Jeanette)
Calculated center of mass and center of buoyancy (Jamie)
Risks and Areas of Concern
how to connect cylinders, U-clamp idea won't support weight. need redesign.
Keeping in mind that the connection of cylinders should be able to keep wires waterproof
Resources or Information Required but not Available

Schedule
Slightly behind schedule. Need to catch up to get testing/experimenting done soon.
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
Total Spent: $4,064.63
Progress on Report and Webpage
Second Draft is being written and will be completed by Friday
More pictures/videos being taken for website, will update pages when results come in.
