ECE 477 Senior DesignTeam 7 Reliability and Safety Ben Horst Katie Taller Matt Klass Jacob Wyant
Safety and Reliability Issues • Communication between kiosk, micro, and database is inconsistent • Servo motors don’t function as intended • IR sensors / load cell don’t provide reliable data • Inventory items don’t fall correctly within the hopper • Conveyor belt movement is uncontrolled
Components Likely to Fail • Freescale Coldfire 52233 • Step Down Voltage Regulator • N Channel 12V MOSFET • Low Dropout Regulator • Quad Operational Amplifier
Improvements • Construct the project out of a non-flammable material • Enclose the hoppers • Add hand guards to the conveyor belt • Add warning labels near moving parts
