Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Individual Analysis of Components on-going
New circuitry design is being considered to include change of intensity of LEDs
Have the equipment and parts to test circuit of 24 LEDs and plan on testing late week 1 or early week 2
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Risk Reduction test completed and successful.
Presentation completed and presented
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Complete Design Proposal presentation (Noor, Jen, Simon, Nick)
Create and test circuit
Measure heat dissipation across the LEDs
Order LEDs, MOSFETs, Resistors/Pots, Battery, Voltage Regulator (Jen)
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Need to be able to vary the intensity of the LEDs to carry out different experiments (4/1/2014 in person)
Looking into potentiometers or other current regulators
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Make sure to look into voltage regulators for the voltage supply coming out of the battery (3/20/2014 in person)
Talked to Steve about voltage regulators and the applications. Will need to find one that can handle the current we are trying to run.
