  1. Team #1 PICA: Design Decisions and Current Status Report A. Ball K. Wiersma N. Jen A. Sterk

  2. Outline • Reintroduction of project and problem • Major Design Decisions • Accomplishments • Obstacles • Summary

  3. Our Project

  4. Major Design Decisions • Power Supply • Solid State Relays • Microprocessor Selection

  5. Power Supply

  6. Solid State Relays for Breakers

  7. Microprocessor Selection

  8. Accomplishments • Successful testing of the Solid State Relays • Successful testing of the analog inputs to the ADE7763 chips. • Run code on LEON3 processor • Designed a Power Supply PCB • MSPGCC 4.X compiled so we can now compile (and debug) code for the MSP430 • Demoed capability to read from the ADC in the MSP430 • Got Linux to compile and boot using LEON3

  9. Obstacles • Building the rest of the software needed to complete the base station. • None of the systems have worked together yet. • Integrating surface mount components into DIP breadboards • Toolchain compiles not working well due to very out dated code • Dealing with demo software, which limits the size of compilation

  10. Summary • Many design decisions have been made • Many accomplishments as well as obstacles • Confident that the prototype will be ready by April 29.
