Team Shortnose Sucker: Project Auto-Shifting Bicycle

1. Team Shortnose Sucker:Project Auto-Shifting Bicycle • Advisors • Dr. Robert Albright • Dr. Peter Osterberg • Industry Representative • Mr. Walter Harrison • Team • Tim Slevin-Vegdahl (Fall Team Lead) • Joan Javier (Spring Team Lead) • Cyrus Medrano • Brendan Figuly University of Portland School of Engineering

2. Introduction • Design a device that will automatically shift the gears of a bicycle • Benefits new bicyclist and people who do not know how to properly shift gears on a bicycle University of Portland School of Engineering

3. Scorecard • Securely mounted magnetic sensor onto bicycle with buffer attachment for accurate read • Tested magnetic sensor on actual bicycle • Mounted the actuator University of Portland School of Engineering

4. Plans • Complete a working Plan D (PIC) controller • Complete full system testing by the end of next week • Get Final Report v. 0.95 and 1.0 approved University of Portland School of Engineering

5. Testing Magnetic Sensor University of Portland School of Engineering

6. Magnetic Sensor Video University of Portland School of Engineering

7. Reprogramming CPLD University of Portland School of Engineering

8. Testing CPLD University of Portland School of Engineering

9. Milestones University of Portland School of Engineering

10. Concerns/Issues • MOSIS chip will not be here for Founders Day and the Plan C (Verilog) does not function to the specs we need. We will need to make a Plan D (PIC) controller. • Our schedule will be behind on the actuation because we need a driver for the stepper motor. University of Portland School of Engineering

11. Conclusions • The sensor and actuator are mounted onto the bicycle • The Plan C (Verilog) isn’t working because of compiling issues • We hope to complete a full system test by next week along with the Final Report v 1.0 University of Portland School of Engineering
