This week’s accomplishments
- This week I finished the schematic for the power management circuitry.
- This includes the new Triac circuit for controlling the PID on the kettle.
- This also includes adding a transistor to control PWM DC voltage regulation for the DC pump.
- Selected all components from Mouser and created a BOM to order the components.
- This includes both SMD and Through-hole for prototyping.
- Completed the ethics assignment and thought of ways to make better decisions on our project’s design.
Next Week’s Deliverables
- Place Mouser order for all components of PCB.
- Place PCB order.
- Meet with the team for ethics assignment and discussion.
- Start working on arduino code for controlling the new circuits on the PCB.
