Week Narrative 1
Task- Draw schematics for Arduino and Motor Shield for Room Access.

Doing-Using an example given to me by Mr. Foerster, I looked at the Arduino and the Motor Shield and drew out the parts in my notebook. I used this Google Drawings to draw the parts and added a little bit of detail.

Next Steps- I drew both of the motors out and i need to make the Schematics for those as well.Need feedback from Foerster so that the drawings can be improved.



Week Narrative 2
Task- My task was to again draw box schematics. This time i drew it for the motor and the whole mechanism.

Problems- My box drawings were too much detail. Schematics are supposed to be simple and easy to understand. Overlapping of the shapes used to create the drawings.

So I drew the process in my journal but it had a little too much detail and it looked hard to follow so i compromised by looking the small unnecessary things and I simplified it.

Week Narrative 3
Task: Draw more schematics for the process of Room Access. Mount the monitor on the wall, next to the door.

What was done: I drew more Schematics for the mechanism,but I was having problems on what to improve. Debating whether or not my schematics gave clear definition of the process. I decided to add small text boxes describing the interactions between the parts. Also had to fix a few errors on how the parts were put together. For the mount, I looked through parts online and tried to look for one under 35$ which was more than enough to buy a good one. The link to the mount that is being purchased.; http://www.amazon.com/VideoSecu-Computer-Monitor-Bracket-Display/dp/B0017D0ENM/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1414364110&sr=8-4&keywords=wall+mount+for+computer+monitor

Next Steps: Draw more Schematics.

I need to take apart the monitor from its base, and ready it to mount on the wall. Set up the mount on the wall. Have to get licensed to use the drill so that I use it to screw the mount in place. I measured the monitor and made sure it was qualified for the specific mount.



Week Narrative 4
Task: Draw Schematics for the coding and the Process that controls the Room Access. Ready the Monitor for mounting.

What was done I created a Schematic for what the computer is connected to and what it does.

Mount- The mount hasn't arrived yet but I had to make a few adjustments to the back of the Monitor so that it can fit with the Mount. The Hook on the back of the monitor was not flat in the back and that would prevent it from being screwed on to the mount. I couldn't unscrew the extra bolts out so I had to use force. The big bolt I hammered out and the little bolt wouldn't come out even with the hammer so I had to cut it using a saw.



Next Steps The Mount should arrive tomorrow, so I can put that up. I also have more Schematics of the software to draw.
