Test Results Summary
Live Document: Test Plans
User Interface Tests
| Test | Test Plan | Results |
|---|---|---|
| U1: Monitors Supported | Device can show images on monitor
| |
| U2: Bluetooth Distance | The student input can be up to 12 feet away from the device and the bluetooth would still work. |
Power Tests
| Test | Test Plan | Results |
|---|---|---|
| P1: AC/DC Converter Output | Converter was Adjusted to output 12 VDC
| |
| P2: Motor DC/DC Converter Output | Converter was Adjusted to output 3 VDC
| |
| P3: Servo DC/DC Converter Output | Converter was Adjusted to output 7.4 VDC  |

Power Progress
Power Schematic for inside of device:
- The power strip will be on the outside of the enclosure to give access to the on/off switch of the power strip.
- The electronics will go underneath the device and be completely enclosed with small vents, covered in mesh.
- The Raspberry Pi and AC/DC Converter will be plugged into the power strip. All the teacher/aid will need to plug in is the power strip.
- A fan will be added for air flow and testing will be completed to ensure the electronics won't overheat.

Plans for next phase
- As a team, where do you want to be in at your next review?
- Power system powers servos and motors
- Gripper is tested
- Motors can move on frame
- User interface can control motors
- Enclosures are made
- Electronics are safely stored
- Drawing can be made without automatic tool change
- Draft paper done
- Draft poster done
- Draft video done
- As an individual on the team, what are you doing to help your team achieve these goals?
