Katie and Jack met to finish proof of concept testing with the breadboard-function generator setup. The breadboard and function generator are wired to the Arduino One unit. The proof of concept that we are looking for is to accurately and purposefully vary the frequency output of the function generator. Once the computer showed that frequency was able to be varied, the setup was attached to the oscilloscope and signal was viewed. There were a few problems we encountered when trying to view the signal, such as the signal being inconsistent with the code that was being applied. We solved this by soldering the microchip together with the pins. Once we obtained a signal, we varied the frequency for proof of concept that our circuit was working properly. A table of these frequencies, which is the range of frequencies in the design specifications of the verification and validation paper, is available in proof of concept folder on LabArchives and will be presented with the verification and validation paper. We made sure that the function generator produces all waves and that the battery works with the oscilloscope as well.
Our next step is to finish proofreading and editing our verification and validation report. Once this is turned in and our prototype from the Rogers lab comes in the mail, we will be able to start implementing our verification and validation testing.
