Milestones Completed Minor: • Design Document v0.9 Nov 3 • Design Document v0.95 Nov 8 Major: • Budget Finalized Nov 10 • Design Document v1.0 Nov 17 • All Parts Ordered Nov 29 (due) (Completed Nov 10)
Additional Accomplishments • Addressed voltage and current restrictions in using LabView • Design Decisions: Stepper Motors
The Near Future Minor Milestones: • January Program Review Jan 24 Major Milestones: • All Parts Received Jan 17 • Arduino Microcontroller FunctionalJan 24
Proof of Concept Step Down Circuit • Solar panel rated at 12V with a load • LabView can only take 10V
Issues/Concerns • Power Source for Arduino and Motors • Have separate sources to reduce wire tangling or overloading • Which photoresistor design? • Test both configurations and select the most accurate
