Hand-Wavy Goal:
Determine the level of fluid in a beer keg.
Objectives:
- Create and record a signal that echoes through the keg.
- Analyze the signal and determine if a noticeable difference between full and empty kegs exists.
- Create a software model to process a signal and give the fluid level
- Assemble Electronics
- Create/Design a case for the device.
- Fabricate the case
- Complete the prototype
- Collect more data.
Restrictions:
- The device cannot extend past the top of the keg (i.e the keg can still be stacked.
- The device must be "hands off" when deployed. (i.e runs independently without outside input)
- The device must provide indication of the level of a keg, internally or externally.
Current Status:
- Case fabrication ongoing.
- Completing component design - BRANCHING OUT TO SUBIMPROVMENTS
- Prototype Electronics outlined / assembled. - See above
- Need to further explore signal processing. - yes definitely
- Completing Case Allows real-world data capture - ALMOST THERE
