Progress On Device Build and Upcoming Validations
Over the period of Mar. 6 – Mar. 26, team 36 started with mounting the electrical components onto the pegboard. A figure was drawn to come up with the best placement of the components. A 9V battery that supplies the Arduino board with power is placed above the air blower. The Arduino b oard, the Relay Switch Module, and the b readboard were all permanently fixed onto the pegboard . T he wires were regrouped and taped together to ensure that they did not get in the way of the nozzle movement . The plastic tubing was permanently fixed and sealed with the air blower to prevent leaking of air. The figure below shows the final build of our firefighting device , which has all the electrical components mounted on the pegboard : Figure 1: Final internal build set up After all the components were mounted on the pegboard, the team then adju...
