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
