The
powerpoint for presentation 2 is available at:
This
week, the team was focusing on designing the sensor mount for our
hall effect sensor. However, since the magnets we used for testing was too
long, the team need to find a smaller magnet. On the other hand, we cannot
decide the distance between the sensor and the magnet unless we test the
magnets. Originally, the team decided to order magnets from Honeywell.
The magnet is 9.53 mm in length and much smaller than the
original one with 25.3 mm length. However, the team found some much smaller
magnets on ebay. Those magnets are cylindrical with 1/8 inch in length and 1/8
inch in diameter. And they are 50 times cheaper than the Honeywell magnets.
Thus, the team decided to order the magnets from ebay, and they are arriving around
11/5. After, the team receiving and testing the magnets, the team will modify
the current design of the sensor mounts. And the task will be done before the
end of this week.
