Completed CAD Model

  • Completed CAD model with water loop and other component models downloaded from online (e.g. SSRs, DC-DCs, etc.)
  • Adjusted radiator + fan position to reduce board size
  • Planned out and added power planes (24V power supply stepped down to 12V, 5V for fan/pump, servo)
  • Began 3d printing some parts from CAD design

    Power Distribution

Block Diagram

  • Finalized block diagram to add power supply and conversion
  • Adjusted coolant temp sensor connection to separate sensor data collection from controls (fan/pump, valve, heater)
  • Added software

BOM Draft

  • Completed BOM, added case components like linear motion rods and connectors
  • Added power components like DC-DC converter, power supply

Schedule & Progress

  • Updated schedule to account for part lead times
  • Need to order parts ASAP since fabrication for laser cut parts depend on dimensions of actual mounting holes

Next Steps

  • Begin ordering off the shelf components from BOM
  • Work on design report
