Week 1 Narrative
this week i was assigned he compost bin and i finally understood how it works and will begin working on it by using the arduino code to help have a sensor for it so it will work. we began by working on the pipe that is going to be inside the compost bin and will rotate

on the pvc pipe we had to drill a hole through it and add more pvc pipe and cut the hole on the back of the compost bin to take the PVC so that it stay in place because before the hole was too small and the trash can being used was to big for the compost wood surround area holding it in place and we had to adjust that. this week is mostly on how the compos will rotate and move



Week 2 Narrative
i worked on the bin again and how it will function w cut a hole in the back of the bin and in the wood so that can have an easier time rotating we made a couple other adjustments to the project one major thing we had worked on is the



another major thiing we worked on is the battery electric pump one of them was not working so we had to resoldier it hoping that would be the problem but then one of them would turn on on its own so we had to fix that

this is the picture of the battery electric pump

when we tried to solider it we messed up and had to go back while the photo below shows the soldering that is not the only place we had to soldier and we kept trying to take the excess soldering off that was there before but we could not

Week 3 Narrative
this week i worked on the setting up of the compost bin and getting it to work before i add the sensor and the arduino. i have ordered the DHT sensor so i can use that with arduino so that the sensor will be able to tell me how wet or dry the compost is inside the bin

Week 4 Narrative
this week was all about the code

i found this code and made a few adjustments to it in hopes that i will be able to get it to work with my arduous and with the compost bin i ran into a few problems along the way i keep getting new errors every time i run my program because i want to make sure it works before i begin re-setting up the compost bin and making sure it works i am still working on the code and trying to get past all the errors i keep getting through out my project

thee main problem im having is it is not reading the code i am giving it for instance in the begining of the code it has DHT to let it knoe that it is the sensor but since i do not have the sensor my program will not work so i have to set my compost bin and sensor and hopefully get it to run all together since i am not sure but my sensor has still not come in i am just waiting on that then i can begin by seeing if my code will work with the sensor

while trying to figure out how the thermistor will work and how i will set it up i will be using a 10k resistor i found an arduino code that i will be using in the project the thermistor code will be connected to the temperature inside the compost pin letting us know the temperature. this function requires to use the Steinhart-hart thermistor eqution and is used to convert the thermistor resistance to the temperature degree kelvin
