Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Box setup for demo and clamps in progress
Overall on track to finish deliverables on time and under budget
Vehicle speed sensor setup
Location for mounting myRIO determined and setup
Wiring for DAQ in vehicle complete
Accomplishments from Previous Week
myRIO was mounted within vehicle (in person, Leucadia 2/26)
wiring for DAQ completed (in person, Leucadia 2/26)
pitot tube mounted on vehicle (in person, Leucadia 2/26)
location of mounting might be changed again
Successfully tapped into vehicles speed sensor (in person, Leucadia 2/26)
Box setup for demo of singular battery setup
going to use a different base to hold demo
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Finish up demo of toggle clamps in action (Sal, Ryan)
Test different locations for pitot tube mounts (with a leaf blower - Keith, Dom)
Build test setup with better platform (e.g. butchers block -Entire Team)
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Pitot tube may need to move (in person, Leucadia 2/26)
air may be too turbulent around the logo
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Use commercial shock dampeners (in person 2/25)
purchased a variety of shock dampeners
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Tap into the car's OBD-II for speed sensor
This was unnecessary as we found the G22 speed sensor and read clear pulses from it.
Risks and Areas of Concern
Machining 35+ blocks requires a bit of man hours, and some team members are very busy the next couple of weeks.
Resources or Information Required but not Available
N/A
Schedule
Finish up new design, and mount a well structured and presentable real model of the system (including the same components in the car, railings...etc) to show how the real application will actually be during our final demo.
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
Total Spent: $288.31; Total remaining: $1711.69
