Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Research (spring)
Design (caliper sleeve / spring)
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Met with Steve and Tom
Met with the sponsor
Started the rough draft of the final report
Design Proposal Presentation completed
Circuit design for caliper reading made
built circuit for caliper reading
Have possible spring options that require further research
Have possible spring design ideas that require feasibility analysis
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Test the circuit design for the caliper reading (Ahmed)
Research digital filters for the controller (Ahmed)
Look into alternative micro-controllers (Anuj)
Research coding for selected micro-controller (Anuj)
Write code for computing the speed from circuitry
Research more into spring alternatives (Andy)
Research feasibility of spring ideas that we have (Andy)
Redesign / CAD the caliper sleeve taking into account sponsor comments (Dan)
Sponsor Comments- Meeting at UCSD Moore's Cancer Center on 4/13/16 (Sponsor was on vacation since last meeting)
Caliper sleeve bulky - cut down at the transducer holder part if possible
Will redesign caliper sleeve
Add finger rests / holders for usability
Will redesign caliper sleeve
Help with coding of micro-controller needed
Will look into coding of his micro-controller and write the code
Instructor Comments:
Worry less about electrical part
Use artificial tumor design for testing (use mineral oil)
Watch for Abbe error
Watch for deformation of softer material on transducer holder
Use gauge pin for caliper testing
Put progress on Gantt chart
Meet with Steve to gain help on electronics
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Schedule
Proof of Concept Presentation
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
Amount Spent: $771.06
Amount Remaining: $228.94
Progress on Report and Webpage
Began working on the first draft of the report
