Executive Summary
This lab was the first round of system analyses the team performed. During this lab, the team recorded raw data, such as current (Amps), voltage (Volts) and time elapsed (seconds), and calculated the energy and power supplied to the AEV. This was done by calling a MATLAB function that downloads the EEPROM data from the arduino controller once it is done running the code that was uploaded on it. Figure 1 below shows the phase breakdown of the plot of the supplied power as a function of time. The phases correspond to the different stages of the AEV’s operation.

Table 1 below shows the Arduino code, time elapsed and supplied energy for each phase.
