This is your logbook. Insert here all relevant information regarding the evolution of your project
The first point on the meeting was the announcement of the group members. After that the different projects were introduced and discussed by the groups. In addition the supervisors told us how to use the wiki and do the electronic logbook. We were allowed to ask the supervisors questions about the projects so that we finally were able to choose the project “Travel Logging System”.
We haven't define an objective for our product so the answer for our questions related with the characteristics was to look for an application and define our objective. Once we have an application/objective we have to search for other products that already exist and compare it with our idea and save the information find for the marketing analysis.
Related with the software they recommend us Solidworks for the design and related with the power supply they recommend us to watch out for the consumptions and the autonomy.
We have to respect copyrights but the patents only for the production.
Minute The third meeting startet at 10 o clock, our chairman was Ozge. We introduced two ideas of a travel logging System, the first was about a sensorbox for foodtransport and the other about a System for a surfboard. We received homepages of some stores where we can buy our materials. In addition Paulo showed us a example of a cpu-platine. Manuel mentioned laws which are relevant for the Food Industrie regarding our materials we are going to choose.
Minute:
The meeting started at 12.30. We started to discuss our project in general and what kind of parts we should use for our product.After that we discussed what to fill in the report on the topics 1.5 and 1.6, the answer was to decide on our requirenments and for topic 1.6 we should fill out after the functional tests. For question 2, the height of the waves, the answer was that it maybe be to difficult and that we should concentrate on the other sensors. Last we discussed the software of the product and came to the conclusion to order the materials first and after that start with the software.
Minute:
After the 5th meeting we had to look for cables to connect the different components. In Addition we got the advice to use vulcanic tape to make the case waterproofed. Another idea was to use a kork case. After that Paulo mentioned there will be a possible problem with the Arduino board and the IMU, because there a two different processors.
Minute:
The answer to the first question was no, we must choose one material list. This because the professors thought it was better to concentrate on one. Regarding the software, we would see when we get the components. It is possible to buy it somewhere else but easier and cheaper to get from Portugal. The professors explain how the grade for the interim report is given.
Minute:
The expectation for the interim presentation was asked to supervisors and according to them, we prepeared to interim presentation. Also, receiving time for components was asked.
Calculation of ΔT
Ƞ=Pout /pin= useful power output /total power output
Pin X Ƞ= Pheat
P= I².R=I².R =V².R
Arduino :
-This pin outputs a regulated 5V from the regulator on the board.
Battery:
-Heat test of Battery: the temperature of the oven is to be raised at rate of 5±20 C/min. to a temperature of 130± 20 C and remains for 10 minutes at this temperature.
Power consumtions working at maximun power
SENSOR STICK:
Arduino uno has 3.3 volt supply generated by the on-board regulator. Maximum current draw is 50 mA so we don’t need an extra power converter for the sensors.
ARDUINO UNO:
BLUETOOTH MODULE:
POWER CELL:
Connections between the arduino uno and the sensors stick:
We will need 8 male to male wires and 8 female headers
Minute:
ΔT that is inside of the cork was tried to calculate but was agreed to use temprature stick to measured the ΔT because of the diffculties that is to calculate. power consumption was tried to calculated and the doubts were argued.

Minute: expectation of the project manaegment was asked to supervisors. fritzing diagram of the prototype was shown and estimation of the autonomy was calculated and shown.
Minute:
Estimation of the autonomy was corrected by supervisors. Afterthat, power and signal diagram has shown. the proposal of the software solution was shown to supervisors and some feedback was gotten.
We've found the same we want in botnroll page http://www.botnroll.com/product.php?id_product=234
Because we do not have much knowledge in coding and we are limited in time we will establish some priorities for the development of the software
Minute:
We had some priorities before meeting. At the meeting, we asked that which priorities are more important than the others. The most important one is to make it work by USB maybe after to make it work by bluetooth and accroding to the answers we were start to work on them.
Minute:
Structure of the paper was asked to supervisors and they have explained us. ıt should be consider state of the art, project devlopment but also we should mention about (not much) marketing and sustainability.
Minute:
Last version of prototype and the visual interface were shown in the last meeting and gotten some feedback. the supervisors recomended us to think about aerodynamic of device on the board. Also, they informed us that we have a meeting on 23th june with IT Sector( the company that provided us the materials).
