Chloe’s Status Report for 3/28

This week, I received the connector for our power supply and connected it to the individual components we have. In addition, I was able to adjust the resistances of the circuit to allow control over LED brightness and color with one voltage instead of the different voltages like before. I was able to get the brightness of the different colors to be pretty similar, but since the amount of current drawn is unequal, I found it a bit difficult to get them to change brightness at the same rate. In addition, I ordered some step down converters so we can power the different items off the same power supply. My progress is on schedule, since there isn’t any fabrication needed for the components, and it needs to happen while integration happens. Next week, I hope to connect the step down converters to the light and continue to fine tune the brightness of the different colors. Also, this will have most of the components of our light connected together, and I can help with the controller.
