ProjectTasksEstimated DurationPriorityOwner
Thermistor Module
  •  Write code to read voltage + get temperature given resistance values
  •  

    Characterize thermistors + create a calibration curve by taking a heat gun and thermometer and measuring data points

  •  Validate Steinhart–Hart equation against our data, or fit a different polynomial
2-3 WeeksHighAndrew & Garland
Fan Control Module
  •  Use the thermistor temperature curve to output fan strength via PWM
  •  Calibrate fan flow based on temperature ramping - pick set points On, off, and 50% ie 50% Duty Cycle at 30 C
  •  Determine correct PWM duty cycle PID to control temp
