Adviser Meeting with Dr. Harvey 3/15/2012

• Need to develop a wire diagram that details what goes the power supply, circuits and mechanical sub-systems
• This has already been done by Antony
• However one needs to be developed for the end caps and the electronic rack
• Look into developing a wedge type of configuration for the notch on the inside of the end cap 
• This will be used to guide the electronics into the notch allowing for a quick easier connection
• Explore options that will make the electronics to end cap connection more efficient 
• This is to reduce the time required to properly connect the more than 20 wires on each end cap to their correct destination
• Looking into using connectors (male to male or male to female) which will reduce the amount of connections down to one or two connectors if possible.
• Would be Ideal if the connector could be mounted to the end cap
• A good place to start searching would be Digi-key Electronics or Fouraker Electronics which is located in town 
• We will need to remove the fan off of the Zotac 
• The fan will act as a source of heat or displace heat to regions where we do not want it 
• PID control might be overkill for environment that our vehicle be operating in 
• For the final hardware demo we need at least 90% completion of the vehicle
• This is because the number of people working on the vehicle will be significantly reduced over the summer
• No pressure for hardware demo redo 
• However notify an advisers when we go to test the vehicle in the water so that our progress can be noted
• Talk to Dr. Frank about the reviewers attendance and having someone available for when one of our primary reviewers are not present
