2 PDR ECE 415 Agenda  Problem statement  Solution  Design  Deliverables

3 PDR ECE 415  Measure pH, salinity, temperature of liquids  Inexpensive  Reliability  Easy to use What is the problem?

4 PDR ECE 415 Why is it important?  New water: Undeveloped countries need to test water for usability  Maintenance of existing water: Swimming pools Reservoirs Rivers  Personal Use: Wine fermentation Beer brewing Alcohol distillation

5 PDR ECE 415 What has been done?  Individual sensing devices Salinity $ pH $97.21 Temperature $4.36  Integrated devices for expert / industrial use Cole Parmer:pH, Salinity, Temp, Conductivity $  High cost/maintenance lead to rentals

6 PDR ECE 415 What needs to be done?  Affordable device for personal use  Integrates multiple sensing (pH, salinity, etc.)  Simplicity  Portability  Data Log capabilities
