Week of February 17th
February 17
8:30pm - 9:15pm: Michael wrote a blink code for the Arduino and made a bunch of small changes to the log.
Tentative goals for the coming week: Take the measurements for the nightlight case and build it in SolidWorks, get presentation approved, order parts for the project.
Week of February 10th
February 15
3:00pm - 4:00pm: Lucas, Michael, and James met at class and listened to presentations.
4:00pm - 4:45pm: Lucas re-re-refinalized the budget.
4:00pm - 5:30pm: Michael soldered the nightlight successfully. Pictures of the nightlight circuit can be found here: [1].
February 12
8:00pm - 8:30pm: Lucas found a possible 12V battery to add to the budget.
7:00pm - 8:00pm: Lucas, Michael, and James met together and organized the wiki.
3:00pm - 4:00pm: Lucas worked on the budget and put a pie graph of the budget onto the main Hoverbear page as well as the preliminary presentation and added to the log.
7:00pm - 8:00pm: Michael worked on the log and tinkered with some settings and formatting (apparently trying to get hyperlinks to display other text doesn't work), uploaded the new circuit board diagram, and helped other group members with a few minor things.
February 11
5:00pm - 5:30pm: Michael created the updated version of the circuit board diagram which better reflects the fact that the nightlight components are being soldered into a perf board and not a breadboard. This newer file can be seen to the right.
6:00pm - 8:15pm: James worked on the preliminary presentation.
Michael uploaded the circuit diagram for the night light that was made on the previous day. This file is no longer up to date, but if you wish to see it, it can be viewed here: [2]
Week of February 3rd
February 10th
7:00pm - 9:15pm: James made the Gantt chart.
8:30pm - 9:30pm: Michael drew up a circuit diagram.
February 9th
4:00pm - 4:45pm: Lucas edited the presentation for the preliminary group presentation.
February 7th
5:00pm - 6:00pm: Michael and Lucas met together to establish a rough template of the preliminary group presentation and also organized the main page. James took some time to meet up and they talked about potential goals for the coming week. Michael will finish the perf board diagram.
February 6th
5:00pm - 5:30pm: Our group met with Professor Feher and discussed where we are at currently in terms of the nightlight and the hoverboard and how we can proceed from our current position. We have a video of the breadboard working, but the file type (.3gp) was not compatible with the wiki, and the converter I tried using added a massive watermark that obscured the contents of the video, so for the time being there is no video.
8:00pm - 9:00pm: Michael worked the basic formatting for the wiki page and edited and expanded the group log.
11:15pm - 11:30pm: Michael attempted to get the video uploaded to the wiki for a bit before deciding that the best course of action would be to simply re-record at a future point in time.
February 4th
7:00pm - 8:30pm: Our group completed the nightlight circuit, and established some tentative future meeting times.
February 2nd
1:15pm - 1:45pm: Our group worked on the project proposal and discussed whether to use a Raspberry Pi or Arduino.
Week of January 27th
February 1
3:00pm - 4:00pm: In class, our group received all of the pieces needed to create a working nightlight circuit. We set up a time to work on the nightlight and assigned James to work on the budget and project proposal.
January 28
10:00pm - 11:00pm: Our group met at Umrath House to establish what our project should be. We came to the conclusion that we would make a hoverboard of some sort that would be able to maneuver around obstacles.
12:00pm - 12:30pm: Our group met with Professor Feher in Urbauer Hall 015, where we discussed what we would be doing. We will be spending a decent number of our future meetings.
