Write problem/project Goal
My goal is to get everything mounted and working so that the corn starch mixture will dance

My First Task
I will collaborate with my team members. Talk with previous team to find out what they managed to get done so I can determine what our next step should be.

Side Note: feel free to check out my other project that I am working on; it is at this link Power Resister tester

Summary of actual work over first weekend
I am getting the circuit hooked up. Hopefully it works.

Week1 Narrative

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

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

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

Summary of actual work over third weekend
This week I spent my time trying to get the speaker working again.I have finally got the speaker working. It makes subtle sounds. So I am still trying to trouble shoot it.

Week3 Narrative
This is a Link to my Power Resister tester project

I have finally got the speaker working. It makes subtle sounds. So I am still trying to trouble shoot it.

I got a new fuse since the second one blew. After I installed the fuse, the speaker then started to make sounds when it was plugged and unplugged, and occasionally when the power button was turned was pressed. Clearly the fuse was not the only problem. The only thing that I could think of to check would be the wiring.

It looks as though the wire connections are all correct. The oscillator is working properly, and all the wires are connected to it. Check the circuit board on the back of the speaker.

The soldering is messed up. There is a bridge between the output pin and the ground. The output wire is soldered to the pin but the solder bridged the two pins. I de-soldered the pins and wire and re-soldered the wire and the output pin.

The speaker still doesn't work. I'll see if i can look up some tutorials on this project.

Here are some links that proved useful for this part of the project

My Fourth task
Get the speaker working and mount everything. and make the corn starch monster.

Summary of actual work over fourth weekend
I had hoped to get the speaker working by now. However there are still some unresolved issues with it. I spent the rest of the time researching possible issues.

Week4 Narrative

oscillator tutorials 50Hz Oscillator Tutorial 1 50Hz Oscillator Tutorial 2

These tutorials should give you a good idea of how to configure the oscillator.
