Chloe’s Status Report for 2/21

This week, I helped Kira, our presenter, prepare for the design presentation. In addition, I started on the draft of our Design Report using the provided template. In addition, I ordered the parts needed for our lighting and cooling system so we can start working on it next week. For the power system, I wasn’t able to finalize the parts needed, since I am still looking for a good AC/DC converter that provides enough power while also being small enough to fit inside the base of our light, along with the other components there. My progress is still on schedule, since I was planning on having the power system fully designed out after spring break and for the lighting modules to be completed after spring break too. Next week, I hope to find an appropriate power converter and finish the draft of the design report. In addition, if I have enough time, I also want to start looking at the code I will need for the LED control.
