Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
The general structure of the code for the user interface have been written
The CNC machine is finishing craving the dome
The team is trying to built a sample tray and a rack for the automatic collecting manifold.
Accomplishments from Previous Week
The design for the sample tray is confirmed.
The pressure gauge is integrated into the whole system.
The user interface controlling codes have made some progress
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Complete the circuit on the protoscrewshield(Rudy)
Debugging the code to ensure it functions properly(Zhen &Rudy)
Finishing the sample tray and glue the dome together( Yoav & Dimitri)
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
since handle bar should be made base on our sponsor's preference, he have not given us any specific instruction yet
The individual component is not complete yet, we ran tests on controlling the solenoid valves, and the functionality of each electronic component, however with limited codes it is not possible to test a few components together.
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
testing the equipment, individual component have not been tested (5/22)
Handle bar, placing proper handle bars on the dome to prevent losing the dome in deep water (5/15)
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Using peristaltic pump as a valve and control flow instead of the solenoid valves (5/22)
Risks and Areas of Concern
The possibility of having leaks in the dome after it is glued.
How well we can wire the circuit together such that it is very concise and orderly.
Resources or Information Required but not Available
n/a
Schedule
Gluing the nozzles and connecting tubes to the glue one-piece dome
Debugged the codes for the user interface and the solenoid control.
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
We have $375 at our disposal currently.
Progress on Report and Webpage
Finishing the 2nd draft and update the website by this Friday's Midnight.
