Week Five

Flow Chart Depicting the Inputs, Outputs, and Components of the System

This week we encountered several problems. After sealing the motors and connecting them to the control box, the system did not work- the motors did not spin. Utilizing a functioning control box and our motors, and functioning sealed motors and our control box, we determined the cause of the problem. We discovered a sodering mistake on the circuit board. It has not yet been determined if this can be fixed or if a new circuit board will be needed. In order to eliminate future problems and organize our thoughts, we created a flow chart via the suggestion of our adviser, Jennifer. We organized our system into the following chart in order to manage and integrate the components of the system efficiently.

In addition, we began using the site, Zaahah.com, to share resources and collaborate.
