Day 3: Library morning and progress on Arduino

Good things happened and some bad things happened today. In the morning we learnt how to search for sources and literature pertinent to our group's experiment. That continued with a mystery lunch, just because no one knows who ate what for lunch. A good thing is our new solvent we bought from Menards works great! A bad thing was that Andrew cut his hand on the razor (which did really good job in scrapping the silicone out of the glass). 

Arduino hooked up, pressure sensors are on top of bucket!
We got the setup for arduino (for the automatic pump) working, found some discrepancies between sensor A and sensor B and we graphed this. Fortunately the graph looks to be linear. We compared the measured depth based on the pressure read by the sensor to the actual depth where we placed the sensor.
Graph comparing depth from pressure vs. measured

Too bad the website we needed was down today. But hey! Andrea is here!!! and she really made the difference in moving us along! thanks Andrea!!

Working together sure is fun

To do list for tomorrow: 
Call Adam wondering if he can help us build the tank.
FREE LUNCH WOOO!
