Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
We investigated the wirings of old device from last year and their codes to control the polarities
We are waiting for the coils from manufacturers, and once we receive the coils we can start machining the magnetic core plates
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Meeting with the sponsor
Introduced the ECE students to our sponsor and discussed about the electrical components of the device
Came up with an idea of way to alternate between small and large volumes with 9-coil array
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Figure out how to alternate between small and large volumes with 9-coil array
Purchase the microcontrollers
Purchase more H-bridges
Purchase some switches
Finish the code to control the coils
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Work on the 9-coil array first and try to achieve alternating between small and large volumes
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Concern about the overall thickness of the device since a larger battery might be used to stir more vials (Jan 16th in person)
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Students asked us about the microcontroller selection for our device (Jan 16th in person)
