- Designed rough draft of night light case
September 26
1hr Sam
- Updated Gantt Chart
1.5 hr Toby
- Looked for user interface and AC/DC convertor online

Week 4
September 30
2hr Toby
- Ordered material online
- Reviewed programming for Arduino
- Learned the code of Arduino to stepper motor
October 2
1.5hr Sam
- Researched onshape design techniques for fitting parts
- Exported Night Light case stl file
October 3
1hr Sam and Toby
- Met with TA Will
- Discussed the Arduino programming of photo-resistor and stepper motor control
October 5
2hr Sam and Toby
- Built the circuit for stepper motor and photo-resistor
- Wrote codes for Stepper motor and photo-resistor separately
- Succeeded in turning on the stepper motor and reading inputs from the photo-resistor
Challenges:
- The purchased photo-resistor did not provided desired inputs, so our team built a simple circuit containing a photo-resistor
- Need to find the correct delta timing for photo resistor reading in Arduino coding
- Need to figure out the codes for stepper motor in order to achieve desired effects
