Chloe’s Status Report for 3/21

This week, I finished the design of our power system for the light and the controller, given the power source we received. In addition, I put in an order for some adapters to our power cable to the light and received the LED chip. I also started laying out the wiring for our light this week. Our progress is currently on schedule, since I was able to finish the design of the power system, and am waiting on parts to arrive to start powering all our items. I was also able to get our LED chip, which was previously missing, but I had to get a different LED chip. The changes in the LED chip shouldn’t affect the design too much, since I had originally planned to get this chip but changed to a lower power one since we didn’t need it to be that bright. However, with the new LED, it will be brighter and draw more power. Next week, I hope to finish the wiring layout of the power system and start wiring the motors and the LED to the power supply. In addition, I hope to get some parts of the controller wired, like the sliders.
