The Project

 

·         Problem Statement

 

·      What is needed is a small, light data logging device specifically designed to interface with a typical educational solar car kit. 

·      The data collection system would need to collect time dependent data and then provide for the data to be uploaded and analyzed for learning.

 

 

·                        Our Solution

 

·      Record voltage and current to the motor for a specific amount of time

·      Interface with a computer to easily output the information in a way that can be used for educational purposes

·      The product must be light enough and use little power so as not to change/interrupt the performance of the car
