[DESIGN] - Peristaltic Pump

[JLefebvre55]

Design Scope

Design a peristaltic pump.

Purpose

The purpose of the peristaltic pump is to dose concentrated nutrient and pH solutions into a pressurized line.

Function

Inputs:

• ...

Outputs:

• ...

It interfaces with/depends on the following systems:

System operation assumes:

Features

Each feature should be added to relevant BoMs and CADs where applicable. Design decisions should be well-supported using relevant research and calculations, and should be documented in the Solution Overview. If a feature is complex enough, create a new issue for it using this template, and tag it here.

• Rotor
• Housing
• Tubing
• Servo

Requirements and Validation

What does this design need to accomplish? How do we know it has accomplished this?

List any applicable metrics with criteria/constraints, applicable to purpose, function, method, and each feature, as well as how to test them.

1. Metric A - Criteria/Constraint

Verification

Each test should be performed and documented, and the testing documentation attached to the PR. The testing suite should address the full scope of the function (i.e. ensure inputs are met and outputs work), method (all steps execute correctly), and features (each feature performs as expected) with respect to the purpose and requirements.

How does this design achieve its method effectively, safely, and reliably? How do we test this?
