This week the group started with the first full mock test of the system by integrating the solar panel, PWM charge controller, and vent...

This week, Ian set out to fix the issues with the battery mode switching program. This includes a fix of the hysteresis program and a...

This week I set out to determine the issue related to our IR circuit and determine a solution to ensure proper functionality. Given that...

This week the group set out to test all functions of the project in a controlled environment. Fan Control Testing and Troubleshooting The...

Ian's primary objective for this week was to finish the control box build. All connections to the MCU were made in the previous week, so...

This week the group finished soldering components to the prototype boards and began testing the functionality of the circuits and code...

This week started with the creation of a concurrent Timeline Excel file reflecting the actual progression and embedded into the website...

This week, the goal was to complete the control module build. While waiting for materials to show up, Ian put together the cables that...

This week, the main build was commenced with Ian and Daniel beginning to combine the various modules for initial testing. Ian focused...

This week, following our meeting with Dr. Ejaz, work was fairly light though important. Due to the inductive load of the DC fans, there...

After a discussion about the total current draw of the fans being 80mA as opposed to the originally thought 180mA as purported on the...

The main objective for these two weeks was to complete the main program and get the control module soldered to a PCB prototype board. ...

This week I decided to verify that the fans did not impede the opening and closing of the windows before continuing with the build. Shown...

This week, Ian set out to test the newly revised thermistor circuit and revise the fan control block diagram, the MCU Pinout diagram, and...

After discussion over the weekend of 1/7/2023, a need for a 3.3V source to power the relays was deemed necessary due the excessive...

Group members met on the weekend of 1/7/2023 to discuss work done over break. We tested the current iteration of the Thermistor code...

The objective for the break was to design and program the sensors for the control module using the Raspberry Pi Pico. This progress log...

Over the break, a battery voltage monitoring circuit and Thermistor Circuit were designed and tested on the bread board. Initial testing...

This week, the group got together to revise the engineering requirements, specifications, and materials list per the panel's advice after...

Created Preliminary Powerpoint Presentation, awaiting Feedback from Dr. Ejaz at our last meeting of the semester on 11/30/22. Plans are...
