Andrew's Week 5 Progress Report

This week I connected the 110V circuit and enclosure to the breadboarded circuitry.  For now I am using the 5V breadboard power supply as the power source but plan on building my own in the near future.  Next I connected the MKII module so that the micro controller is ready for programming.  The circuit is now ready for operational testing and callibration once the programming is finished. 
After making these connections I decided to draw a schematic which displays the circuit thus far.  The schematic is shown below.  For the ethernet portion of the circuit I only put the W5100 ethernet chip because we are currently using the ethernet arduino as our hardware.  The following link shows a schematic of the ethernet arduino: http://arduino.cc/en/uploads/Main/arduino-ethernet-shield-05-schematic.pdf    I also plan to add the power supply schematic which will most likely involve a step down transformer, a bridge, fusing, and a linear voltage regulator.

Next week I plan on testing and callibrating the entire circuit with Ashley to resolve any conflicts in the programming and hardware.  I also plan on beginning to explore power supply options so that our circuit can become more standalone.
