This project focuses on developing a battery performance meter for electric propulsion systems. Team members Ryan Bickham, Dennis Blosser, Cody Dinkins, Todd Dutton, and Rachel Shively, sponsored by Dr. Patrick Taylor from AMRDEC, have made significant progress. They received key components, including a Magtrol DSP6001 dynamometer controller and a pressure regulator. Recent developments include familiarization with LabVIEW, submitting coupler designs, and preparing to relay temperature and voltage signals. Upcoming steps involve assembling the cooling system, finalizing motor mount drawings, and coordinating LabVIEW programming efforts.

BATTERY PERFORMANCE METER FOR ELECTRIC PROPULSION SYSTEMS Team Members: Ryan Bickham, Dennis Blosser Cody Dinkins, Todd Dutton, Rachel Shively Project Sponsor: Patrick Taylor, Ph.D., AMRDEC February 19, 2008
Received Parts • Magtrol DSP6001 dynamometer controller
Received Parts • 20 psi pressure regulator
Recent Developments • Attended LabVIEW tutorial – became familiar with software interface • Submitted coupler design to machinist • Module 1102B will relay both temperature and voltage signals to chassis • Module 1126 can only be used for frequency so will no longer be used • M-Test software will be delivered soon
Next Steps • Assemble cooling system • Finalize motor mount drawings • Continue LabVIEW programming of VI • Coordinate with SAE team concerning LabVIEW programming • Acquire power supply for Hall effect sensor and signal generator
