Week 15 is dedicated to the temporary close out of this project for the semester. The majority of the work for this project will be done in senior robotics design in the spring semester. At this point, I am rather organized with my thoughts and have a general idea of what I would like to accomplish in the coming weeks before the spring semester starts. Over intercession, my goal is to create a solar collector circuit and test the solar cells and their ability to charge a battery. Once I am able to gain power from a battery, another circuit can be built in order to connect the LED to the battery. Once an understanding of photo voltaic solar linkage to an LED is grasped, then coding can begin. I plan to be at a point coming into the spring semester where I can start working on code to make the LEDs brighter upon sensing motion and to send messages when motion is detected and to also apply a full energy scale so that no LED beacons will ever be low on power.
Stay Tuned !
