Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
Laptop we will be given we can only have for 6 weeks, so we will not be receiving it until next week.
Our contact will be out of town Feb 12-17 so while they are gone we will be communicating with the paint expert Don Means.
Don Means said that he doesn't think we will need a flow meter, and we can gauge the thickness based on the number of passes.
If we want to paint off site we can buy paint at home depot with the same viscosity.
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments
Can we get the tip to the spray nozzle somewhere else? We put in another order through another company but now we are having trouble with them.
Asked if there will be compatibility issues with Labview, but our version will be an older one and should not have a problem transferring to a newer version.
