Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Finalizing Dome Structure design
Finalizing critical component purchasing
CAD of User interface and sample tray
Accomplishments from Previous Week
CAD sketch for user interface
Becoming familiar with PCB123 (Circuit board design program)
Contacted Mccmaster-carr to purchase raw materials for the dome and the manifolds
CAD of sampling tray where sample tubes are will be placed in the system
Contacted ----- regarding their solenoids to make sure there are no trace metals (waiting on reply)
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Yoav- Assisting Dimitri with ordering products and circuit board construction with Rudy
Zhen- Either begin constructed user interface with school supplies or find a company that will do it at a low cost with the time frame we have
Rudy- Once we attain solenoids, begin making the circuit for the system. Then design the circuit board and order it through PCB sunset
Dimitri- Order raw materials, solenoids, precision pump
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Likes both concepts for dome structure.
We need Tom's OK for 3D CNC machine
Possible increase budget
Likes automization concept very much
additional solenoid to bleed manifold (avoid stagnate water)
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
4/5/12 make a power point to show our objective, what we have done, and where we are going
Present design options to sponsor and pick one or two concepts
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
none
Risks and Areas of Concern
Make sure that the solenoid exit does not get contaminated
manifold design is not fragile and will be able to withstand various conditions without easily damaged
making sure that PCB Sunset can deliver the circuit board to us in time
convincing sponsor to give us a larger budget
Resources or Information Required but not Available
how to use PCB123
company that can help us built the outer protection dome
Schedule
purchase Solenoids, electrical buttons, LCD screen, and raw material
find company that can help us construct outer protection dome
meet with Steve Roberts to help us build the circuit for this system
Contact Tom or Isaiah for recommendations on how to fabricate dome structure.
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
$ 27 at Home Depot for raw material
Progress on Report and Webpage
