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

create arduino programs that will drive the wheelchair's motors

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

review past input on the group project page and review my notes on the previous project input on wiki and my notebook

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

Not different, continued review from last notes to the wheel chair project

Week1 Narrative
Tell a detailed story describing what you did for your team over the weekend. I reviewed and researched information and tutorials, diagrams for ways to control the wheel chair now, a first step.

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

Make a trip to the brookstone store at the columbia mall to check out controlled mechanisms and make videos of them in action to see how any part of it can help with controlling the wheel chair.

Summary of actual work over second weekend
How is what you did different than what you planned? I completed the trip to the brookstone store and created two videos of two electronic vehichles I found that the brookstone store's vehichles have cameras, two way audio and sensors using an app on an ipad that is digitaly controlled and can be controlled by the movement of the ipad

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

I researched online and on wheel chair sites to see newest controllers and to see videos on you tube of  other controlled wheel chairs. I found several, including ones with cameras/video and sensors

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

Go back to brookstone to redo the videos, the previous videos did not function, frustrated, a waste! I brain stormed to decide the best way to apply what I learned from the viodeos that I created and the vehichles to see how it can be applied to the wheel chair project

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

I planned to figure out how to get control over the best way to make the wheel chair autonomous. I pulled my hair out over reviewing you tube tutorials frustrated beecause I still do not know how to input programing to the wheel chair and my project partner was not in the last class to brain storm i need to find a programing genius

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

I sifted through tutorials to find the best way to control the wheel chair now the later to build to make it autonomous. I figured the best way was to connect to the back of the wheelchair a separate smaller battery that will connect to the motors and to an arduino for powering an arduino for programing input.

My Fourth task
''Record what you are planning on doing for the team during the final weekend of project work. ''My partner is not here again with the toggle controller I had hoped to be able to connect the toggle to produce any function to move, turn on or off the wheel chair. If he is not here with it next week I will proceed with my weekend discoveries and make, post diagrams, photos, video tutorials and post them on the group page for the next team to have a guide,  startiung with possibly the toggle controller, then creating a path to an arduino controlled wheel chair to at least (TURN ON AND OFF THE CHAIR AS A START THEN TO MAKE PROGRAMIMG INPUT POSSIBLE TO MAKE THE CHAIR AUTONOMOUS), which is the  ultimate goal.
