''Your class negotiated 5 or 6 projects to do the rest of the semester. Please rank, in order of preference, your highest through lowest project names.''

Week1 Narrative
''This week consisted of mostly working on trying to get the scanner to work while plugged in before it is taken apart. It started by attempting to download the driver to run the scanner like it was meant to be run. The issue became that the driver can only be used on old systems.''

Week2 Narrative
''This week consisted of learning arduino. I have never used arduino before and the motor that is trying to be controlled is what is called a stepper motor. It is completely different than a regular motor and needs to be programmed accordingly. This week I went on wikiversity and looked up a tutorial of the stepper motor. Come to find our Arduino is a fairly simple programming language and can be used for many different things. After I downloaded an example of the code to control the stepper motor I went through and looked at the code attempting to learn how to program it. After I found a sufficient example I attempted to systematically go through and find out which wires go to which connection. That did not work. I went through the combinations and could not find the right configuration for the wires. Upon further look on wikiversity I found a chart corresponding to the wire combinations of different stepper motors but the motor I am currently using is not located on that chart so it was a dead end. This coming week hopefully I can find the correct wire combinations to allow the motor to run.''

Week3 Narrative
''Tell a detailed story describing what you did for your team over the first weekend. Link to any CDIO documents you are working on that need to be considered for project points. Compare your task with what you actually did.''

Week4 Narrative
''Tell a detailed story describing what you did for your team over the first weekend. Link to any CDIO documents you are working on that need to be considered for project points. Compare your task with what you actually did.''
