Day 4

Work Day!!!!

Today we were officially named "Team Girl Power"! We are the only team that consist of ALL women.  Yay!!! Therefore, as you can see, we are very detailed in our layout. 

Here Jennifer is explaining our Closed loop control system. 

State transition diagram.
Here is where we identified the different steps to our  Arduino will go through.  Also, at the top of the board is our mock up of our ground layout for installing the equipment at the park.

On and Off grid diagram.
Here is where we designed a diagram of how we will power our DVRand cameras using the non spilling batteries.  The writing in the blue is where we implemented a new idea of adding a "switch" to power the Arduino for the cameras and DVR. We realized that on the basic Arduino board it only powers 5v and the DVR/Camera system needs 12V to power.  Therefore, we are going to see if we can split some of the power from the battery to power the Arduino board ultimately powering the Swann System.
