Week1 Narrative
I downloaded the LabVIEW program to my desktop and began using it with the provided tutorials. I used the 6 month student LabVIEW trial, yet LabVIEW claims I only have 7 days remaining on my trial.

6 month trial license is here 10/10/5 ... do not report on what you did ... list frustrations, failures, and symptoms ... 5 points for the problem of not finding the 6 month trial .. this is what pushes the project forward ... would have been 10 total points if you had found the 6 month trial link yourself. --1sfoerster (discuss • contribs) 18:54, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

Week2 Narrative
I worked on the LabView training exercises and struggled to get them working. The wording was confusing and unrelated sometimes. These videos were helpful in understanding LabView.

I had no idea where to start with connecting LabView to Kinect, but found some possible starting points
 * NI Forum
 * NI Leeds
 * Kinect

10/10/10 very good links ... labview tools network is installed with labview that has a search button .. I typed kinect into it and it came up with a driver ... says must load some microsoftware first ... we have the original kinect 1, I think there are two versions of it. You would have received a lot more push points if you had named your struggles, documented the confusing wording and the unrelated items. General comments like that feel like unfocused criticism to the author ... need to give examples ... otherwise the author just knows that something can be improved ... but is clueless how or where to start ... details, details ... ideally they are in your notebook and you just make a list here ... --1sfoerster (discuss • contribs) 15:16, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Week3 Narrative
I plugged the Xbox Kinect into my computer and the device software was not found. This video explains how to download the kinect SDK driver. It is necessary to identify if your computer is 32 bit or 64 bit. Once the Kinect was installed, I downloaded the Kinect toolkit software. This process involved downloading VI Package Manager software and a Kinect toolkit.

10/10/10 .. good links ... no mention of success or what happened ... --1sfoerster (discuss • contribs) 15:15, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

Week4 Narrative
I worked on the conceive portion of the LabVIEW project page. Also, I installed the Arduino UNO environment on my computer using these steps. I installed the Arduino toolkit for labview using the VIPM(VI Package Manager). I began to create a program for the Arduino in LabVIEW but did not finish the program.

You stimulated me into editing the team page. Very good. Keep going. 10/10/20 --1sfoerster (discuss • contribs) 15:58, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
