Solar Array Project Update: Team Peacock Lane Milestones and Future Plans

The Peacock Lane team, led by members Elise King, Caitlin Greeney, Beverly Raposa, and Julius Raposa, under the guidance of Dr. Yamayee and Dr. Albright, has made significant progress on the Sun Tracking Solar Array project. Key milestones include the completion of design documents, finalization of the budget, and ordering of essential components. Our future goals involve programming reviews and ensuring the functionality of the Arduino microcontroller. Current challenges include power sourcing for components and optimizing photoresistor designs. For more information, visit our project blog.

  1. Sun Tracking Solar ArrayTeam Peacock Lane Team Members: Elise King, Caitlin Greeney, Beverly Raposa & Julius Raposa Advisor: Dr. Yamayee Secondary Advisor: Dr. Albright Industrial Advisor:Jeff Cook (BPA) Client:Dr. Dillon

  2. Milestones Completed Minor: • Design Document v0.9 Nov 3 • Design Document v0.95 Nov 8 Major: • Budget Finalized Nov 10 • Design Document v1.0 Nov 17 • All Parts Ordered Nov 29 (due) (Completed Nov 10)

  3. Additional Accomplishments • Addressed voltage and current restrictions in using LabView • Design Decisions: Stepper Motors

  4. The Near Future Minor Milestones: • January Program Review Jan 24 Major Milestones: • All Parts Received Jan 17 • Arduino Microcontroller FunctionalJan 24

  5. Proof of Concept Step Down Circuit • Solar panel rated at 12V with a load • LabView can only take 10V

  6. Issues/Concerns • Power Source for Arduino and Motors • Have separate sources to reduce wire tangling or overloading • Which photoresistor design? • Test both configurations and select the most accurate

  7. Summary • Milestones Completed • Additional Accomplishments • Future Milestones • Proof of Concept • Issues/Concerns • http://wordpress.up.edu/egr13peacocklane/ Questions???
