Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
3D modeling and printing of assembly to design better for user experience
In preliminary design phase of system
Basic code developed for Arduino feedback control of heating elements
Plan in place to assemble / parts ordered for heating element
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Integrated previous work inspiration into potential system designs
Work for integrating burr grinder module into system (holes, mounts, ramps)
Ordered first parts for testing
Discussed power constraints of system
Created high-level electrical schematic
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Decide on specific parts for system, i.e. faucet, water container, enclosure
Have preliminary system design fully done in CAD
Assemble initial version of heating element (Arduino control with relay)
Select a temperature sensor and order
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Would like to see CAD of preliminary design ideas
Want update on heating element of choice (requested 1/3/18)
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Order parts now (12/11/2018) to start testing when Winter quarter starts
Procedural steps are taken to minimize risks of burns due to boiling water / electrical fire (isolating Arduino from the external power supply)
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Risks and Areas of Concern
If we don’t use a height difference to prime the pump, then how would we prime it?
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Schedule
Boil water to 95C
Deposit coffee grounds from grinder ino brewing module automatically
Connect modules together
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
Spent: $68.72
Remaining: $3,431.28
