Week One
- Sketched out different AEV designs
- Team chose roles and talked of what goals needed to be met at every stage.
- Began looking at Arduino software, learned how to navigate the program.
Week Two
- Coded a program for the Arduino to perform in order to propel the AEV
- Narrowed down AEV designs, chose best three
Week Three
- Constructed sample AEV
- Created code to check for the stand-by status of sensors on AEV
Week Four
- Chose to move forward with one single AEV design
- Began writing code to test the power of the AEV
- Ran test runs to see how AEV would react with differing sets of code
Week Five
- Chose to highlight two areas to test extensively
- Motor configuration and propeller configuration
- Began to configure motor in different layouts for testing
Week Six
- Continued testing different motor configurations
- Began creating SolidWorks drawing of possible AEV add-ons
Week Seven
- Began testingĀ different propeller configurations
- Only orange propellers were used this week
- Created a plan for oral presentation and how to explain goals/failures/improvements
Week Eight
- The engineering team met to work on Progress Report 3
- The team also went over performance test 1&2 and came up with codes for the final performance test
Week NineĀ
- The team met to work on the committee meeting
- The team also came up with possible codes for performance test 2 & the final performance test
