Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Newly introduced to sponsor project
Presented with theoretical concepts of project
Informed on current system prototype
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Found spec sheets for a majority of the current system components
Began brainstorming on ways to improve current system
Understanding of project description
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Research into other (better) microprocessors – Jeff H.
Look for low(er) key sensors – Tyler C.
Meet with Steve Roberts to brainstorm ways to improve system – Everyone
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
Sponsor’s comments
Explore other microprocessors/dataloggers that has a faster sampling speed.
Look for other sensors that are not as high tech as the current pyranometers
Consider different radius of the semi-circle array. (Shrink from 6m to about >10in)
Actions Taken
· Researched into different models of the CR1000 datalogger w/ greater sampling rates and found OM-LGR-5320 fits sponsor’s required descriptions
· Scheduled a meeting with Steve Roberts to discuss possible sensor replacements and different arrays
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
Instructor’s comments
Calculate the error in velocity measurements (Understand the sensor’s accuracy; get more information on the pyranometer)
Determine what component is the limiting factor to the current system
“Millisecond of budget of all aspects”
Actions Taken
· Scheduled a meeting with Steve Roberts and Sponsor to understand sensor’s acurracy
· Discovered the datalogger was limiting factor as it cannot sample fast enough
· Divided up components to analyze for individual component analysis
Risks and Areas of Concern
Data Sensing speed
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Max cloud speed parameter to design prototype
Schedule
Describe upcoming milestone
Update Gantt chart.
