Write problem/project Goal
To develop a system that opens a door by simply knocking it in a rhythm

My First Task
'' I will gather information on programming arduino. ''

Summary of actual work over first weekend
This week I took home an arduino and look through wikiversity videos and readings on how an arduino works. I downloaded arduino 1.0.1 and attempt to follow a tutorial on how to make a LED light bulb to light frequently at a certain rate. However, I had difficulty in configuration when I plug arduino to my computer. After discussing with my group on Tuesday, I attempt to write a pseudo code to unlock the door on the arduino software.

Week1 Narrative
I taught the team members how the arduino works. Showing them the pins, usb ports, power port, the amount of voltage it emits, etc. I introduce the program arduino 1.0.1 and the basics of the programming language. Guide them through how the pseudo code I develop would carry out the purpose of the door access project

My Second Task
Over the weekend, my task is to create a tutorial on the arduino so that team members may look back as a reference whenever they encounter a problem while working on it.

Summary of actual work over second weekend
Originally over the weekend, I was supposed to create a tutorial of the arduino. However, our team decided to cancel that.

Week2 Narrative
I worked with Steven on programming the arduino. I helped decipher the code our team found online so that Steven can set up the pins, LEDs, and speaker in the proper place of the arduino. I helped with deciphering various example codes from the arduino program and compiling them, so that the its function would come close to the function our team wants it to serve for this project.

My Third task
Over the weekend, my task is to solder the speakers to cork with a pin compatible to the arduino and deliver it to Steven so that he may continue working on programming its sensors.

Summary of actual work over third weekend
Originally, my designs were more suitable with the pvc pipe. However, the new door access prototype is made out of block of wood and requires a different approach of encasing the arduino with it and be placed on door.

Week3 Narrative
This week I my task was to design a creative casing of the door access prototype. I came up with various casings that will hold the prototype and arduino together and mount it to the door. The casing consists of a stuff animal of snake with the door access prototype embedded in it and a red thread connecting through the snake's mouth, to the door, and coming from the motor so that it gives off an illusion that its tongue is pulling on the door handle.

My Fourth task
My task over the weekend is to research ways to properly mount an arduino to the wooden block and come up with a different casing that will hold the new prototype together.

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

Week4 Narrative
Tell a detailed story describing what you did for your team over the weekend.
