Write problem/project Goal
What is your wording of the overall problem/project goal?

My First Task
What are you going to do for the team this first weekend?

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

Week1 Narrative
Using A Characrter LCD

My Second Task
For the second week, we are planning on working on the code for the arduino that will allow us to measure the power that that the wind turbine is outputting. We also want to work on an LCD display for the wind turbine; an LCD that will display the information or data that we are receiving from the arduino.

Summary of actual work over second weekend
We were able to get what we wanted accomplished but there were problems with the coding for the wind turbine. The code was not giving us the right information. We decided to focus on changing the code to display the desired results on the serial monitor.

Week2 Narrative
During the weekend, the team split up responsibilities concerning the wind turbine. Lukas was designated to work on the code and clean it up to make sure it works. Shane and I worked on the arduino to LCD display. I did some research on the Arduino to LCD and found interesting stuff. I found information on how to connect the arduino to the different PIN on the LCD. Thuis is the diagram I found online,we followed the tutorial to make one but we ran in to a problem. The Liquid Crystal Display code that we found in the arduino library did not work. We decided to focus our attention on the wind turbine, we tested the code with the power supply to if the code Lukas worked on was working.

My Third task
For the third week we are planning on working on fixing what we worked on. We plan to reconfigure the wiring for the Arduino to LCD and the code for reading the power, amps and current for the wind turbine.

Summary of actual work over third weekend
We did what we planned to do for this week. We worked on the code some more to so we can test it with the wind turbine. We also worked on the Liquid Crystal Display so we could display our results on the LCD.

Week3 Narrative
Arduino to LCD Wiring

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
How is what you did different than what you planned?

Week4 Narrative
