March Update 2022

Key Topics

  • Order Parts
  • Component Testing
  • Building

During this month, we have finished ordering parts that we would need for building. We ordered protoboards, MOSFETs, Arduino Mega, etc. These new parts were required for our current iteration of our device. With this, we expect to be in full building mode next month and start testing within the first few weeks of April.

We have continued testing our components and possible ways of implementing it into our project. We have also worked on calibrating our sensors with a water bath. This allows us to verify that our components are using the proper amount of current for the various settings in our project.

Lastly, we begun building our device layout and started outlining the physical aspect of our device. With some of the parts coming in, we are preparing our device to be assembled to combine the physical and electrical side of things. The coding is fully done and functional and we have begun soldering parts together for the final assembly.
