As we ramp up to finish our project, we have been making some final finishing touches, which have not led to the best results. Despite difficulties, we are still on track to deliver a finished proof of concept prototype!  FDR… Read More

How ‘bout those Gators!? Like how the basketball season has ended (Gators won the national championship), we are close to the end of the IPPD season. With FDR in under two weeks, the team is smoothing the rough edges of… Read More

Prototype Inspection Day is finished! The team received valuable feedback concerning presentation skills, functionality of the device, and data analysis methods. The team will be focused on speaking more loudly and slowly during our presentations to ensure we are heard… Read More

Prototype inspection day is coming up and the team is busy adding updates to our device to be as close to the final product as possible for the big day. The mechanical team finalized one tube attachment out of the… Read More

Happy Pi Day (March 14th gives the wonderful date of 3.14)! The team has pushed forward with so many more improvements and testing for the system that we deserve some pie…   A New GUI The electrical team has been developing… Read More

With time barreling toward the upcoming FDR presentation, the team was able to close much of the distance to the finish line this week. Upon receipt of a new stepper peristaltic pump, the electrical sub-team rushed to integrate it into… Read More

Changes are on the rise for the team after experiments with the peristaltic pump showed unfavorable results. The team’s next challenge will be to race against time to introduce a new peristaltic pump to the system in time for FDR… Read More

The team is continuing to make improvements to the overall system. The sensor testing has continued with improved readings made possible by the electrical team. More 3D printing updates are on the way as well as the mechanical team has… Read More

More and more parts are being added to the system! The mechanical team has been hard at work at CAD and researching parts to buy to bring our project to the next level. The electrical team has also been very… Read More

This week was all about testing and acquiring quantitative data to prove our project meets the specifications of the scope of work and can function properly. This data is also essential for us to see if our current model requires… Read More

Our first QRB was a success! The team presented to 4 IPPD coaches our plan for the semester, project risks, and the overall design of our system. The coaches provided valuable feedback that the team will be using to improve… Read More

The mechanical team is ready to test how our tubing will react to different angles that it may undergo while in use. To ensure that we are accurately measuring the angles of the tubing at even increments, we modeled a… Read More
