* Milestones

Demo

*Minor Complications

*Overloading the power supply*Reduce Voltage from source*Current Max = 6-A, to defeat gravity

*Precise adjustments for negative feedback*Hall sensor output range from 0-5 V truncated to 2.5 -5 V, then expanded back to 0-5 V

*Get a reasonably sized heat sink!!

*Questions?

*Summary

*Overall Team 125 is on track!*Milestones

*Oregon snow caused some “slipping”*Tele-comuting/ task delegation

*Minor complication solutions being implemented!
