Progress GUI/PIC interface: Successfully connected DC-DC voltage inputs (0-5V) work ASCII file loading sort of works ○ Now: takes file with time, relative measurement from 0-1; user specifies high and low voltage output ○ Issue: speed of updating measurements – specified pulses 10 ms, getting changes of ~13 ms Reading voltages for housekeeping works, need to test with current sensors PWM control doesn’t work Adjustments Changed 4.096V reference to 5V reference so that DAC/ADC can output/read up to 5V
Working temp. measurements (current not connected) Room temperaturePerson touching sensor
Next steps Find out PWM issues Characterize time lag between computer sending signal and DAC output Circuit for adjusting 0-5V output of DAC to ~ V range for UV LED Design circuit/system such that PWM and DAC output for LED are connected in series Get GUI to update continuously
PERT Chart This week Finalizing GUI/PIC code Interfacing GUI and PIC Testing connections, debugging Next week PCB layout, components box design Testing with MXS Solidify what changes we want to make for a second iteration of the project
