  1. Team 11 – Poseidon

  2. The Team • Simeon Eisen • Jeff Overweg • Aaron Maley • Jacob VanderWall

  3. Outline • The Problem • Design Decisions • Challenges • Looking Back • Looking Forward • Acknowledgements • Questions

  4. The Problem • Pool maintenance is time consuming and easy to neglect • There are systems available, but… they are costly and often are not convenient • An inexpensive, effective system would make the lives of pool owners simpler and create more time for proper leasure

  5. Design Decisions • Electronics: Processors and Communication • Atmel ATmega 644p & Atmel ATmega 328 • ZG2100 – 802.11b wireless interface chip • Graphic LCD with touch screen overlay • Electronics: Mechanical Control • Stepper Motors: 5VDC, Half H-Bridge drivers with step determinant logic • Solenoid Valves: 12VDC, Half H-Bridge driver • Pool Recirculation Pump: 120 VAC, Relay

  6. Design Decisions • Granule Dispensing • PVC Pipe • 3 Stepper motor driven feed screws • Solenoid valve channel switching • Anti-backflow valves • Sensing • Aquarium grade pH and ORP sensors • Diversion chamber with light turbulent flow • Op Amp/Instrumentation amplifier with running average data filtration

  7. Working Components

  8. Dispenser Output Data

  9. Challenges • Stepper control circuit

  10. Challenges • Wi-Shield documentation • Trial and error • Undocumented disabled pins • Rigorous Testing and research • Router differences • Incorporate instructions in user manual

  11. Looking Back • Improved definition of goals (vision) • Improved budgeting • Corporate sponsorship • Start prototype building earlier

  12. Looking Forward • Improved wireless capabilities • More memory for server • Incorporate Ethernet • Ball valve vs. solenoid valve • Shock factor! • Visual / Audible warning indicators • Larger screen

  13. Acknowledgements • Tim Therault– Industrial Consultant • Prof. VanderLeest – Team Advisor • Brian Honeck, Eric Walstra, Darryl DeBruin – CEAC Reviewers • Bob DeKraker – Parts Ordering • Phil Jasperse – Shop Help

  14. Questions?
