| - | ===== CDR Presentation Notes ===== | ||
| - | ==== Overall Presentation Notes ==== | ||
| - | * Avoid putting blocks of code on your slides | ||
| - | * Convert the code into an algorithm that is more readable | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Instrumentation ==== | ||
| - | * Alligator clips from | ||
| - | * Send data values as strings and convert on computer | ||
| - | * Try sending data as bytes instead of a string | ||
| - | * Issues with matplotlib | ||
| - | * Wanted to plot data in real time but are having issues with it | ||
| - | * Can talk to Christie and Ryan about this | ||
| - | * Behind by two weeks | ||
| - | * Need to allocate more time for the GUI | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Wind Sensor ==== | ||
| - | * Finished implementing Teensy with 4 microphones on breadboard | ||
| - | * Will research how to find sampling rate | ||
| - | * Teensy samples about 4 times faster than Arduino | ||
| - | * Flip pin at end of sample to get a square wave | ||
| - | * Can compare square waves for sample size | ||
| - | * Suggest not using Cortex M4 chip | ||
| - | * Just use Teensy since only a month left | ||
| - | * Will complicate things to use just the microcontroller on the Teensy | ||
| - | * Order new wind sensor | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Apple Design Team ==== | ||
| - | * Five boards ready | ||
| - | * Temperature sensor pins are CORRECT on the datasheet | ||
| - | * Housing | ||
| - | * Consider for different roofs | ||
| - | * Will go over solar irradiance data with Firmware | ||
| - | * Can configure XBees remotely | ||
| - | * Cannot program Arduino remotely | ||
| - | * BMP085 library can be used with the BMP180 | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Dragonfruit Design Team ==== | ||
| - | * Four boards ready | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Cranberry Design Team ==== | ||
| - | * Three boards ready | ||
| - | * Brandon trying to make their own housing | ||
| - | * Thinking of editing Brianne's design | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Firmware Team ==== | ||
| - | * Fixing values | ||
| - | * Voltage divider | ||
| - | * Needed to read data sheets for scaling factors for ADCs | ||
| - | * How values were confirmed | ||
| - | * Confirmed values with old Apple values | ||
| - | * Pressure about 101 kPa | ||
| - | * Humidity about the same for all four boards | ||
| - | * Varied solar irradiance with outdoor light in the room | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Forecasting ==== | ||
| - | * Compare to LMS | ||

| - | |||
| - | ==== Verification ==== | ||
| - | * Will send out board next week | ||
| - | * Meeting with Garrett at beginning of next week for final design | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== XBee Team ==== | ||
| - | * For rain, test with rain in between the two XBees | ||
| - | * Note temperature and humidity at the time | ||
| - | * Testing with the antenna wet as if it were raining | ||
| - | * 64000 nodes max on a network | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | ==== 196/296 Presentations ==== | ||
| - | * Do not put your full schematic on slides | ||
