Kristoffer Hain's Masters Project

I have the LCD installed in the poster and the setup is starting to come together.

This weekend was the crunch weekend. I have two more units complete and working, for a total of three. I should have a forth ‘extended run’ version soon.

The poster came from the printers and I’ll have the LCD mounted in it this week and the final paper is near completion.

I only have a few weeks left before things need to be wrapped up, and I’m in good shape. The trifold poster will be here Tuesday. I need to build at least one more logger, would like to make at least two more. I am hopeful to do some trials at work this week. Aside from the I need to finish my paper and a presentation and present it!

A few quick updates….

Here is a link to a Power BI dashboard I made.  If I’ve logged data, it’ll appear in the dashboard.  Move the slider in the upper left-hand corner.

Second, I’ve been asked to present at GVSU’s Graduate Showcase on April 10th.  I’m very excited as this gives me an opportunity to dry-run my final presentation.

Lastly, graduation is only 35 days away.  I have a bit more work to do on building at least one more logger and try to run it down a product line.  Expect some updates soon!

I graduate in 47 days, which is exciting and scary all at the same time.  This past week I had a good review of my project with some influential leaders at work.  As a result I am making a few changes for the second datalogger to withstand certain environmental requirements and time requirements.

Aside from this minor change, I’m on track to having everything completed soon.  I need to complete the local storage failover, and pretty up the OLED display and web interface.  A stretch goal is if I manage to add some web-based configuration.

I have started my final paper and my poster for the poster presentations is nearly complete.  I hope to have the poster design complete this week and approved so I can send it off for printing and then implement the LCD display.

I have the first of four units built and operational. Today I did some machining on the display bezel as well…

Here’s a quick time lapse of the box being built in four parts:

Also, I have the electronics for the lid complete:

The last of the components arrived today, and I made this picture to represent everything that goes into one of these.  Keep in mind I am making a total of four units.  The last part is printing on the printer now and should be done by the time I get home from work tomorrow.  This weekend I’ll assemble prototype #2.

This weekend I simplified and redesigned the power circuit. I also added the current Wi-Fi signal strength and IP address in the web UI.

3D printing is going 24×7 to get all four cases printed, and nearly done. I used the vinyl cutter today to cut end cap stickers.

Just a quick update. The updated charge base is complete. I also added a 3d cube to the web interface to show positional data.
