Hoverbear Log

January 28, 2019
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM: 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.
12:00 PM - 12:30 PM: Our group met with Professor Feher in Urbaeur Hall 015, where we discussed what we would be doing. We will be spending a decent number of our future meetings.

3:00 PM - 4:00 PM: 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.

1:15 PM - 1:45 PM: Our group worked on the project proposal and discussed whether to use a Raspberry Pi or Arduino.
February 4th, 2019
7:00 PM - 8:30 PM: Our group completed the nightlight circuit, and established tentative future meeting times.
February 6th, 2019
5:00 PM - 5:30 PM: 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.
8:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Michael worked the basic formatting for the wiki page and edited and expanded the group log.
11:15 PM - 11:35 PM: 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.
Current Goals:
- Make times to work outside of class
- Move budget to the wiki page
- Solder nightlight circuit
