Significant Risks
- Dependency on off the shelf parts for fabrication: Cannot finalize or fabricate custom mounting plates (3D printed or laser cut) until we have real parts to verify mounting hole dimensions
- Planning to finalize component choices at the next team meeting to mitigate finalization and order all required parts to resolve mounting dependency
- Software development blocked by missing hardware: SW arch design, data collection code, and PWM control code development require sensors and Pi to begin implementation
- Select and order temperature sensors at the next team meeting to ensure schedule depencies are met towards sensor SW design and development
- Brainstorm and finanlize high level code skeleton to ensure smooth development and implementation once parts arrive
Design Changes
- Initial block diagram created with Raspberry Pi 5, Pico, servo, and sensor connections to aid in the development of the system once parts are ordered and design finalized. No costs affiliated with this design change.
- CAD assembly revised to accommodate sensor placements and control system mounts to aid in the development of the liquid cooling loop and ensure anticipated parts will function well with the current system design. No costs affiliated with this design change.
Schedule Changes
