This week hurricane Ian hit Florida and we had time off of classes, impacting our work time towards the modular control board. Instead of recapping this week’s progress, we’ll outline the week before (9/19) since there is no post for it.

From left to right: Luis, Andrew, Dr. Merida, Hyeong Been
We saw the first models of the boards used in classes with our liaison Dr. Merida! Given the boards, we saw room for improvement given the requirements and specifications. We also ended the week off strong with a team-building workshop sponsored by Florida Power and Light! We are moving forward with the following improvements for each group member:
- Luis Gallego (ChE): Conceptualizing expansions
- Andrew Kraus (EE): Improvements of the board and simplifying wiring
- Hyeong Been Joo (CS): Consolidation of programs
We will pick up where we left off with continuing research of each of our parts, and we will begin concept selection/conception. Stay tuned for more!
