Objective for the week (3/24/2021 - 3/31/2021): The objective for the week is to finish up developing the docking mechanism. Currently, the docking mechanism is fully functional with the dashboard. The dashboard is able to show indicators that explain the actions of the linear actuator. The next step is to reorganize and compact the circuit and wiring so that the docking mechanism can be tested on Monday (3/29). Individual tasks: Pedro Serenini: Mount the docking mechanism on the superway track. Create a CAD model for a box that will contain the electronics. Assist testing the docking mechanism. Yit Voon Yap (Nick): Mount the docking mechanism on the superway track. Compact the circuit and wiring of the docking mechanism. Assist testing the docking mechanism. Phuc Tran: Continue developing a dashboard/control panel for the charging station. Use SolidWorks to demonstrate/create the docking mechanism. Further develop the dashboard to monitor voltage and current of the 12V batteries used

  Objective for the week (3/10/2021 - 3/17/2021): The objective for the week is to implement the docking system into the dashboard. This allows a person to view the status of the docking mechanism and bogie for the charging station. Moreover, the objective is to mount the docking mechanism on the superway track. Individual tasks: Pedro Serenini: Mount the docking mechanism on the superway track. Assist integrating the devices. Yit Voon Yap (Nick): Mount the docking mechanism on the superway track. Assist integrating the devices. Phuc Tran: Continue developing a dashboard/control panel for the charging station. Assist integrating the devices. Use SolidWorks to demonstrate/create the docking mechanism. Work on the docking mechanism code to implement the docking system into the Node-RED dashboard. Jacob Villanueva: Track the progress of the IoT team. Individual progress: Phuc Tran: Created a MQTT server for the design center. Created a Node-RED dashboard for the charging station.  The das
