Final assembly of product in process.
 The
system is fully operational. A smoke alarm, and a pair of infrared sensors, made
it to the final product. The concept of using a motion detector, and a smoke
alarm (infrared sensors) was used to give us an idea of how these sensors
worked, as well as to have these sensors for the main project.
The prototype worked perfectly in our tests with a
response time no greater than 13 seconds (approx). Details on testing are in the
box to the right of this article.
Right now we are in the process of assembling all the
parts into a rack-mountable enclosure that will go in the control room. The
device is 3 rack spaces high (about 5 1/2 inches high), and has a
visual/audio alarm as requested
Our Capstone Design Presentation will be on April 28th, 2000 at
1:30PM in
the Meadows Room of the Du Bois Conference Center. There will be a Poster Session in the Engineering Building following
our presentation. Directions on how to get there here.
