Systems

Voltage Sense

We will have isolated voltage feedback. The voltage will be transmitted via a SPI ADC over a digital isolator.

Solenoid

See the Solenoid Development page for more information. For logistics reasons, we may purchase a solenoid as we did last year and take it apart for use in our mounting apparatus.
