Directory Explanations

Arudino Libraries

Contains all the libraries that are used by the code. No outside libraries are needed since all these libraries are modified to work with the code.

Diagrams

Contains calibration/data for motor etc. The data from these sheets are used to calibrate the flow rates etc

Essential Code

Here contains the essential code to run the program. The two main programs are setupMode and OperationMode. First the setupMode is run to set up the system, then the operation Mode is run to actually execute the program. This is explain more later. Also, the Macro excel sheets are used for proper formatting of the files on the SD card. It will also guarantee the correct naming convention of the files generated.

Examples

Here contains Arudino sketches for various testing code that was used in development. These sketches are used for isolating certain features for testing or validation. Code in this directory is not needed but can be used for debugging.
