Welcome to the April 21st, 2023 investigator blog post.

This week we work on finalizing our prototype. We obtained an enclosure for our product in order to house it neatly. We moved the prototype over into the new case and secured all the parts in place. Along with this, we have been getting ready for our final design review. We have been putting together the documentation that we will be handing off to our sponsor company, Florida Power and Light. This documentation will contain everything that they need in order to successfully recreate our solution if necessary. Along with this, we have included recommendations for future iterations as well as problems that we have faced with this version of the prototype and how we overcame those problems. Attached below is a picture of our new prototype in its new enclosure. We choose a clear case in order to be able to see the components while we are demoing our project.
