Flywheel Control and Monitoring (FlyCAM)

This wikipage contains information for University of Idaho's FlyCAM, the user interface for the Flywheel Energy Storage System. This product was created as a senior design project by the  FIGs.

Background
A storage system of any kind is useless without a control interface. Our user-friendly design allows for precise control of Idaho's Flywheel Energy Storage System. Additionally, it provides intuitive monitoring of the Flywheel's performance.

Implementation
The GUI is written using the QT Framework. This allows for rapid development while being flexible. The interface's primary target operating system is Microsoft Windows, however QT is multi-platform allowing for expanded operating system support in the future. The QT serial library will be used to communicate with the Flywheel's primary microcontroller facilitating control and monitoring of the Flywheel's operating parameters.

Testing
To be filled once this step has been reached.
