Write problem/project Goal
My overall problem for this project is to figure out a way to not have the conductive threading to be able to overlap each other with out shorting out the unit and to figure out the software scripting. I will look at past documentation for this project and see where I can improve and figure out my problem.

My First Task
Study the lily pad arduino and look over the software scripting.

Summary of actual work over first weekend
It took some time but I found something that looks like the code for the lilypad arduino. I tried inputing the code, but it didn't work. I showed the professor the issue, and he told me to choose the edit option on the screen then copy and past it.

Week1 Narrative
Found the code for the lilpad arduino that the last team used. This link will show the code Lilypad CodeThanks to Truondat, I am able to ge the arduino to do multiple things with the LED's. I am also learning what part of the code does what. This was very useful for me!

My Second Task
Start sewing the LED's in a pattern that makes a nice design when the lilypad operates. Then figure out how to evade wires from touching each other.

Summary of actual work over second weekend
How is what you did different than what you planned?

Week2 Narrative
Tell a detailed story describing what you did for your team over the weekend.

My Third task
Record what you are planning on doing for the team during the third weekend.

Week3 Narrative
Tell a detailed story describing what you did for your team over the weekend.

My Fourth task
''Record what you are planning on doing for the team during the final weekend of project work. ''

Summary of actual work over fourth weekend
Even though I thought tightning the threading on the conductive thread would stop the shorting out of the arduino. It still would loosen and not light LED. Also the Script that I try to use from the last project team was not very good. I decided to make my own.

Week4 Narrative
Had my Mother in law show me how to sew and she shown me how to double loop the thread around the led's and the arduino. She also stated the thread isn't as durable as regular clothing thread. So the thread seems to fall apart sometimes. After sewing all the LED's to the correct positions on the arduino. I started creating the new script. I added 20 led's to the script and had the program turn on 2 LED's at the same time every 6 led. When the next LED turns on the program turns off the led before it. It goes around a circle at the rate we set it at. We can set the rate at any speed we want. success! Only problem I am currently having is sometime the thread comes a little loose. also the Thread seems to touch the USB adapter copper. We will have to get the battery connection working in order to avoid this.
