Luis, we will need some type of cover slide like this. You should probably add the semester: Spring 2008. Maybe even the current date. Also the mentors’ names.

Functional Specifications

Put the diagram of the functional specs here.

Make sure you have the most current version. Check the version that’s somewhere in Sections 1-3 of the final report.

High Level Block Diagram

Find the “pretty” version you made. Make sure it includes solar panels as part of the design. Don’t use the one that says “If applicable.” Also, change the “to be determined” under mechanical. There’s a name for our mechanical design. I think it’s “Spar”, ask Eli.

Buoy System Model

Empirical Test Bed For Design Decisions

Link Budget

Data Budget

Power Budget

Make it pretty. Maybe add some graphics which represent each of the budgets. Like some radio waves and some hex/binary data and a battery or the circuit drawing of a battery.

It’s good to have visuals. Even if a person can’t read, he should have an idea what the slide is about.

Satellite Access Scheme

Pretty animated simulation of Beacon Buoy.
