SD Card Storage
• Pressure:– Example Line: “2012/6/6 13:30:25,10”– 20 characters + ‘\0’ + ‘\n’= 22B per line– Every Second, 14,400s (4hr) = 14,400 lines per file– 316,800B per file– 2 trips = 633,600B for 2 files
• Temperature:– Same as Pressure, 2 sensors = 1,267,200B for 4 files
• Accelerometer:– Example Line: “2012/6/6 13:30:25,10,10,10”– 26 characters + ‘\0’ + ‘\n’= 28B per line– 3 times every second, 14,400s (4hr) = 43,200 lines per file– 1,209,600B per file– 2 trips = 2,419,200B for 2 files
• Gyroscope:– Example Line: “2012/6/6 13:30:25,10,10,10,10”– 29 characters + ‘\0’ + ‘\n’= 31B per line– 3 times every second, 14,400s (4hr) = 43,200 lines per file– 1,339,200B per file– 2 trips = 2,678,400B for 2 files
6,998,400B = 6.67419434MBSo the smaller SD cards
(200MB to 500MB) should have enough storage.

Testing
• Test 1:– Connecting sensors to
board– Reading from sensors and
interpreting data into a useful format
• Test 2:– Creating a timer for each
sensor, testing efficiency– Test the Real Time Clock on
SD shield– Test writing to the SD card
• Test 3:– Testing each sensor
individually with writing to the SD card
– Testing each sensor individually with the timer and writing to SD card.
• Test 4:– Testing all sensors and
timers with writing to SD card.

Testing
Burn In Test Breadboard the design and power the circuit
and see how long the batteries will last.
DC/DC converter test Test to make sure the DC converters are
outputting the right values.
Cold test Put the fully manufactured circuit inside the enclosure and
place the enclosure inside the cold lab.
