The finished, assembled, and working current sensing outlet! Our team may have had a few roadblocks, but the team couldn't be prouder of what we have made. #TheFHSSquare#BASDproud@PLTWorg EDD
The team had to redesign and finish constructing our current sensing outlet this past weekend. The finished product may not be as clean as we wanted, but we are proud of what we created! #TheFHSSquare#BASDproud@PLTWorg EDD
Creating a rough sketch of what the finished prototype should look like, along with a quick list of materials that the team needs to purchase in order to complete the outlet! #TheFHSSquare#BASDproud@PLTWorg EDD
The team created a custom wall outlet with an LCD Display to display the current flowing through the outlet using a single outlet receptacle and the display. All of the electronics will be concealed behind the plate. #TheFHSSquare#BASDproud@PLTWorg EDD
Creating the mock "wall" to plug our current sensing outlet into when it comes time to present. We used clear plexiglass to act as drywall to showcase the inner workings of our outlet. #TheFHSSquare#BASDproud@PLTWorg EDD
After some discussion, we have decided to construct an outlet that displays how much current is flowing through it. This lead to our preliminary electrical schematic for our prototype! #TheFHSSquare#BASDproud@PLTWorg EDD
What percentage of of an average U.S household's electricity bill do you think is wasted on phantom power? @PLTWorg#TheFHSSquare#BASDproud EDD
The answer may shock you!
Nearly halfway through the semester and our Gantt chart shows that we are on track for our second meeting with @kres4BASD #TheFHSSquare#BASDproud@PLTWorg EDD
