Date: February 23, 2018
Location: Hitchcock Hall 224
Purpose: Complete Advanced R&D Battery Testing research and begin Advanced R&D Propeller Configuration.
Team Members Present:
– Nina Moore
– Jacob Ryan
– Ravvin DeArmond
– Mason France
During the meeting:
– The team was able to get enough information during their tests to present for next week’s presentations.
- Ravvin and Nina began coming up with propellor configurations.
- Mason was able to upload his arduino code into the AEV before class to get a head start.
- Jacob recorded the voltage of the battery per trail run.
- AEV ran into a problem that stopped the AEV from entering its second phase after it’s first practice run.
- The Arduino code had to be scrapped and reworked.
- Jacob and Mason fixed the AEV with the help of Nina and Ravvin and were able to get 2 good trails.
- Ravvin began running the first propeller configuration almost immediately after Jacob and Mason finished their last battery test run.
- Unfortunately ran out of time but was able to get one good run from the propeller configuration experiment.
