Power Supply Solid State Relays Microprocessor Selection

Major Design Decisions

Power Supply

Solid State Relays for Breakers

Microprocessor Selection

Successful testing of the Solid State Relays Successful testing of the analog inputs to

the ADE7763 chips. Run code on LEON3 processor Designed a Power Supply PCB MSPGCC 4.X compiled so we can now

compile (and debug) code for the MSP430 Demoed capability to read from the ADC in

the MSP430 Got Linux to compile and boot using LEON3

Accomplishments

Building the rest of the software needed to complete the base station.

None of the systems have worked together yet.

Integrating surface mount components into DIP breadboards

Toolchain compiles not working well due to very out dated code

Dealing with demo software, which limits the size of compilation

Obstacles

Many design decisions have been made Many accomplishments as well as obstacles Confident that the prototype will be ready

by April 29.
