3. EE/CS 480 Fall 2008 3 University of Portland School of Engineering Introduction Programmable Logic Solar Radiant Heating System

4. EE/CS 480 Fall 2008 4 University of Portland School of Engineering Scorecard Last Month –Theory of Operations –Request free samples –Select Motor Driver components when ME is ready for pump specification Completed: –Completed Theory of Operations Hardware architecture Program pseudocode –Ordered some important parts Shortcomings: –ME side not ready with pump specifications

5. EE/CS 480 Fall 2008 5 University of Portland School of Engineering Additional Accomplishments Had good meeting with mechanical engineering industry representatives. Have a lock on the mechanical system design. Budgets in order.

6. EE/CS 480 Fall 2008 6 University of Portland School of Engineering Plans Plans: –Determine exactly which pump we will need and ask for it. –Get all major microcontroller components. –Start programming PIC 18 microcontroller.
