Project Background and Need:
The floating chlorine dispenser has been a staple in pool/spa chlorination for decades and has never been reimagined. We'd like to come up with a new/innovative way to chlorinate small pools/spas.
Problem Description/requirements (List of high-level functionality you expect to see in the end product):
The product should require no external power.
It should be able to either dispense liquid chlorine, chlorine tablets, chlorine powder or generate chlorine from the salt in the pool.
The unit should be able to either measure the ORP of the water or receive commands wirelessly from other Pentair products.
Required Skills / Desired Competencies (in order of importance):
Embedded hardware and programming
Power electronics and systems
Wireless communications programming
Robotics/mechatronics
PCB design and layout
Analog circuit design
How often and how would you be available to meet/chat with the team (Zoom, Hangout, Skype, Phone)?
Bi-weekly if needed and likely WebEx or Zoom.
Will the students be required to sign any of the following before they start with the project? NDA / CDA / IP assignment / IP protection form
TBD.
