Week 2 Lab

On friday 12-02-2016, we arrived the lab with mostly all the components of our system. This includes the rain sensor, Not-gate, H-bridge and the linear actuator. We simulated the whole system several times and was working as expected. Here is a picture for the system ( the purple wires are output to the linear actuator)

Later on that day, we also decided the layout, material and shape of the cover that will be used in the system, whose function is to prevent the rain. This means it is supposed to expand and shrink due to the actuator movement. Primirly it was decided to use kitchen table sheet due to its cheapness and high immunity against the rain.
