Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Test Dummy is 95% fabricated and ready to be used during tests
PCB is designed and will be ordered Monday 5/6
3D modeling of prototype sensor case is finished and ready to be printed
Arduino DAQ is optimized for testing
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Test Dummy has been brought to desired weight of 175lbs (Joe C., Kelvin)
Solidworks of Slider Sensor Case has been finished and is ready to be printed (Joe M.)
PCB layout has been optimized (Joe M.)
Testing of sensors was not recorded due to error is Arduino code (Joe M., Jeff)
2nd sensor package has been received
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Order PCB from local vendor (Joe M.)
Print 3D sensor case via SIO-IDG 3D printer (Joe M.)
Finish Test Dummy for initial testing (Joe C., Kelvin)
Construct DAQ to display peak fall data (Jeff)
