This past week was busy outside of senior design, however we started it off with a meeting with our client. It was our first face-to-face meeting since he read our progress report last semester, so it primarily involved updating Dr. MacEwan on the current status of our project. We brought a 500% scale 3d model of our device which intrigued him, and were able to demonstrate the first two layers of the graphic user interface. He really liked the user experience but believes that it will be important for us to include a method by which we can request all possible diagnostic data from each screw (ie. impedance). Overall, the tone of the meeting was extremely positive, and Dr. MacEwan looks forward to seeing our working prototype.
In preparation for the Verification and Validation report, we are beginning to take more precise readings from our current output circuit and will soon log the stability of the circuit over a period of multiple days.
Nathan built the charging circuit that powers the charging backpack. Using four individual charging modules in parallel allows us to safely charge each 18650 Lithium Ion battery safely from a single power source. This circuit also includes LED indicators that change color when each respective battery is fully charged.
