Week1 Narrative
0/0/0 ... nothing to grade --1sfoerster (discuss • contribs) 14:04, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Week2 Narrative
Updated team project page. Added previous documentation and also changes our team made to improve the combolock.

This week I needed to find a way to mount vernier photo gate. The photo gate is used to detect when the lock is unlocked.

Came up with 3 different options that could potentially be used to attach the photogate to the ComboLock


 * Fantastic ... 10/10/60 ... do the same for the openSCAD gear documentation --1sfoerster (discuss • contribs) 22:24, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

Week3 Narrative
Need to figure out a way to mount new stepper motor to the combolock.


 * Next step is to test the motor with the arduino. Spins now by hand easily.
 * 10/10/60 ... very good --1sfoerster (discuss • contribs) 13:56, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Week4 Narrative
New motor shield did not include pins on the front face so I had to solder on new pins so the solenoid wires could be connected to the arduino.

Also, in week three I stated that I was going to test the stepper motor. So here is a test of the stepper motor and solenoid fully functioning. The new pins that were installed seemed to have fixed the problem because the solenoid is now hooked up to the arduino and when the code is uploaded is engages on a certain interval.

Furthermore, going back to week two when I installed the vernier photogate, I did an overall solenoid test on the lab quest.


 * wow! you are having fun ... need next steps listed here so don't have to have that conversation verbally ... suggest giving this to your partner to reproduce ... and document better ... 10/10/60 --1sfoerster (discuss • contribs) 15:22, 8 April 2014 (UTC)
