What did you personally accomplish this week on the project? Give files or
photos that demonstrate your progress. Prove to the reader that you put sufficient effort into the project over the course of the week (12+ hours).
This week, I worked on replicating my test circuit to have 3 solenoids (all powered at the same time). During this process, I noticed that the solenoids were getting heated but that may be due to having them on for a few minutes constantly. However, in reality, these solenoids will not be powered on for 3+ minutes straight so hopefully, we do not have to find a solution for having too hot of parts. I also tried to solder some cables onto the solenoids because the solenoids’ cables are flimsy.
Is your progress on schedule or behind? If you are behind, what actions will be taken to catch up to the project schedule?
I am on track!
What deliverables do you hope to complete in the next week?
I am hoping to finish creating (and soldering) the 7 solenoid circuit onto the protoboard by next week
