PT2 Operational Objectives

Assignments

1. Prepare PT2-TRR Requirements (DUE at the BEGINNING of the lab)

2. Prepare AEV-PT2 Summary document, using Grading Guidelines

First-Year Engineering Program

PT2-TRR Requirements

TEAM: 1. Determine distance to each stop for one full circuit.

• Create a table with each station and distance for the overall operational objective

INDIVIDUAL: 2. Develop an arduino control program for the AEV to

meet the operational objectives. • Upload the program to the AEV and confirm

operation statically. (Spin wheel by hand.)3. Using AEV Analysis software, generate static power-

time curve and overall operation energy used for each INDIVIDUAL written program. • Turn in plot and overall energy used for each

INDIVIDUAL.
