Purpose: Tues MDSD1 Class
Attendees/Invitees
Agenda
- Functional Decomposition Exercise
- Discuss Findings from over the weekend.
- Discuss budget
- Meet with Dr Slack to discuss routers.
- Go to the Robotics lab and observe their router.
Discussion
- Monitor
- 2 Single Pivot Screen($25)
- 1 Single Mount $50-60
- Better than flat mount
- Can wait to order this
- Extra PCBs
- Single side $3-5
- Double side $5-15
- Cheap due to RadioShack going out of business
- Buy 10-12 soon
- Limit Switches
- Prefer contact switch
- Currently have breadboard grid
- Can put display on box of what switch went off
- Switch out all limit switches due to poor quality
- Wires can easily pull out
- Homemade
- Vacuum System
- Found new 210 CFM $150 smaller vacuum
- Vacuum pump attached to building not likely feasible
- Liquid coolant
- Possible, not exactly water
- No damage to board
- Extends drill bit life, calms airborne debris
- Need to contain coolant splash
- Not likely compatible to vacuum table
- Shop vac likely dry only
- High pressure air coolant?
- Low specific heat compared to water
- Hard to contain around electronics
- Fine mist? Collects debris more than coolant
- PCB sizes
- No standard sizes
- 18x24 most common
- These are often cut into smaller boards
- Feature in Eagle that gives std sizes based on project box sizes
- Budget
- Only $500
- Currently coming up with budgeted needs
- Likely have an A and B plan
- Yev emailed CAST System Admin to get equipment permissions set up
- Dr Slack
- Has no interest and has never routed PCBs
- Gave a list of students who may be interested
- Told to check out Robotics Lab
- Robotics Lab
- Router non functional
- What was on whiteboard last week is posted on edge
