Week 12 - April 12, 2017
Updates
- Submitted 496 Abstract to the EE assistant for use in the 496 pamplet/program thing.
- Objective, Abstract, and Team Members
Parts Order
Parts order came in - yay. Time to test.
- BME280
- Using the Adafruit testing code from their github with an Arduino Uno to verify how/that it works
- Going to hook it up using I2C first then SPI
- I2C wiring - Using an Arduino Uno and the test code compiles and works.
- Reads Temperature/Pressure/Altitude/Humidity
- SPI wiring - Using the same Arduino Uno the test code compiles and works
- Dylan's code is to use with the whole board hooked up in the firmware of the whole box like the driver for the sensor to use in whole system
- ATmega1284P - DIP and TQFN packages.
- Need to breadboard a DIP one to start testing its functionalities and differences between the 328P
Design/Research
- Rain sensor
- We have a solar sensor and wind sensor. Why not rain sensor?
- Look into creating a DIY version of rain sensor.
- Leads that short when there is a conductor (rain water) present.
- Helpful link maybe - http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Modules-Rain-Sensor/\
Reminders
- SCEL's participation in CoE's Open House is canceled due to a “full program”
- April 29th, Final Presentation
