Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
consider using peristaltic pump to transport fluid instead of totalizer and valve. we did some research on the peristaltic pump and we realized that it is indeed easier to control. we are looking into the part we need and the order should be placed by the end of this week
check with our sponsor about the platform they are using for control. we will talk to our sponsor about this problem on Tuesday.
check with Edward Pogue about industrial control. we are meeting with Edward Pogue on Tuesday.
