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? Research RC controlled hovercraft and how it works

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

Week1 Narrative
Tell a detailed story describing what you did for your team over the weekend.

As the project/problem statement changed to developping an arduino based auto pilot system. I spent this weekend researching arduino autopilot systems. 

My Second Task
Record what you are planning on doing for the team during the second weekend.

I plan on getting the hovercraft connected to the arduino

Summary of actual work over second weekend
Planned on getting the arduino connected to the hovercraft but instead had to look up arduino code get it to control the hovercraft

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

I spent the weekend looking for the arduino codes to make the hovercraft do basic functions such as moving forward,moving left and right. This is what I found.

I uploaded the code to the arduino and I plan on testing it on the hovercraft during the week since I do not have the hovercraft right now.

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

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

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

My goal this weekend was to connect the stepper motors to the motor shield and get them to work, first I tried to figure out which coils were connected to which pins. I connected the white and yellow coils to M3 and M4 and the red and black coils to the GND, the motors didnt not work, I cant identify the problem it may be the code or I may have misidentified the pairs, I already tried several coil connections but it still didnt work.

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

I was able to get the coils connected to the right pins, I connected the red and black coils to the ground and the yellow and white coils to M1,M2,M3 and M4 and was able to get one wheel moving, however the second was wasn't. I changed the code and uplaoded to the arduino and it did not not change.
