Week five end

This week we got the motor controler, phenix conectors, and cycle analyst working, and removed all of the cells from the aray to be replaced by newer ones. We are also troubleshooting the brakes and hope to finish soon.

Week five

This weekend the apoxy on the battery dried, and we got the phenix conectors in. We hope to finish wireing the car this week,  and hopefully move on to the cells next week.

week 4 end

This week we found the proper wireing for the cycle analyst and are trying to get the car working again to test it. We also received almost all of the suplies to wire and encapsulate the cells,  and we are trying to get the car done before starting on the array. 

week 4

This week we plan on wireing the cycle analyst,  some accessories,  and an experiment with the solar cells.

week three end

This week we got the wire in as well as some other electrical things to organize the solar car. We also got the reverse to work by bypassing the pcb.

week three

This week we are trouble shooting the pcb because it is complete now but the reverse is still not working. We are also considerining a mor stable solution than the pcb.

week two end

This week we resurched the fans that we have, and found that they are adequate for ventilation. We also sent designs of the battery boxes to thermal concepts for construction.

week two

This week we are working on battery cooling and boxes. We plan on asking thermal concepts if they can help build new battery boxes and ventilation.

week one end

This week we finished mounting the accessories to the car but did not get the wire in. I also worked on the pcb with Frank, Juan, and Jason.
