Start time: 5:30PM

End time: 10PM

Members present: Mike H, Dave S, Vaughn, Kevin, Tom, Matthieu


Tasks Completed:

  • selected the sensor for the lifting winch to be a multiturn potentiometer (Bourns 3540S-1-103) - we have several already (5, 4 tested, 1 broken & thrown out)
  • Prices determined for lexan on McMaster-Carr, from Home Depot, and Debbie's.  Home Depot had the best price for 3/16" with an 18" x 24" panel, at $19.~~.



Tasks In Progress:

  • Order spare crimp connectors (they have been added to the shopping list and Larry informed)
  • KEEPING ELECTRICAL SHELVES ORGANIZED!  DOOOOOOO IIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!



Tasks to Complete:

  • Mark components on electrical board once lexan comes in (hopefully on Saturday)
  • Check input impedance of cRio analog module to make sure 10K resistance of 10-turn potentiometer sensor will work. (we want analog module input impedance to be much greater than 10K ohms)



Materials Needed:

  • Spare Connectors of all sizes

Do not forget to add your needed items to the Shopping List!!
