8. EE/CS 481 Spring 8 EE/CS 4 2008 January, 2008 University of Portland School of Engineering Concerns/Issues Behind schedule –Solution: Keep calm and stay focused High current still an issue –Backup MOSFETS on board & starting with only 1 battery

9. EE/CS 481 Spring 9 EE/CS 4 2008 January, 2008 University of Portland School of Engineering Conclusions Behind on Theory of Operations  Main focus is Founders Day!! Upcoming month: –Complete PIC program and interface with circuitry –Complete construction, testing, & debugging Any Questions?
