Thermo-Cooler Controller
Kiefer, Mary, Molly, Sam
Update
• We measured the impedance of the TEC
• We are waiting on a response from Vanderlei
and/or Dominik
• We are waiting to get a DAQ from Brian in order
to complete the thermistor testing setup
(we are getting it on Thursday)
Current Assignments
• Finish programming the PIC
• Initial experimenting with PWM
• Test the setup of the vacuum—tape an object
with about the same size/weight as the TEC
• Test the electrical feedthrough of the vacuum
▫ Battery connected to inner feedthrough, read the
voltage from the other side
• Get a hold of a copper plate—will be used as a
heat sink to the hot plate of the TEC
