Meeting 11

Date: 1 – March-2019                               

Time: 9:35-10:55

Members Present: Larenz Coles, Tara Maynard, Brittany Shine, & Allan Thomas

Location: Hitchcock 224

Objective:

Begin aR&D testing for physical brake.

Topics Discussed: Lab 8

  • The AEV was tested without the physical brake on the flat ramp to gather power vs distance data (using propellers to brake)
  • The Arduino was not uploading data for the data extraction tool
  • UTAs and Sheng worked with Larenz to switch the COM ports and reuploading the data
  • The team realized there was not enough time to complete the original plan so Sheng suggested testing the angles of the servo using a protractor to compare actual vs theoretical coded angles during next lab

Reflections:

  • Data will try to be uploaded at the beginning of next lab on another computer
  • The physical brake must be attempted after uploading issues are resolved
