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

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

Summary of actual work over first weekend
I figured out to get the diode to change colors

Week1 Narrative
I played with the diode and the arudiono and got the diode to change colors by switching the diode around the sockets in the  the arudiono.

My Second Task
I'm going to try to get software to get the diode to change color without switching sockets.

Summary of actual work over second weekend
I finally got the arduino software to blink and change the color of my color changing diode without manually switching the diode through the different headers.

Week2 Narrative
I got the color changing diode socitiered to a usb cable a set of resitors at the end of the cable.

My Third task
I'm going to figure out how to modify the crossfading color sequence to change faster.

Summary of actual work over third weekend
I successfully modified the arudino cross-fading software to make the color changing diode transition colors faster and have unlimited looping.

Week3 Narrative
I successfully modified the arudino cross-fading software to make the color changing diode transition colors faster and have unlimited looping.I did this by copying the cross-fading programing code then going in to the code itself and adjusting the settings. I simply went and changed the numbers on the "wait" to 1 and the "loop count" to zero. The "wait" is the the speed of the color transition and the" loop count" is the amount of cycles the program does. The lower the "wait" is the faster the color transition the higher it is slower. Before you program your arduino make sure you go to tools then board and make sure it's set on the right aurduino model that your using or your programing won't go through.

My Fourth task
I'm going simulate heart pulses to react to my color changing diode.

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.
