SCHEDULE

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
