Scorecard• Previously:

– Received LCD, controller, sensors

– Got programmer

– Got many misc. components

• Completed:– TOps finished

• “Your team has chosen a great project and you are doing a first-rate job with the design and engineering.”

– LCD programming

– Defined ME construction space

• Shortcomings:– No serial bus testing, no pump/valve routines tested.

– No keypad, transformer, solid state relays/transistors and diodes (mosfet)

– U of P did not provide us with facilities to construct mechanical portion
