Week1 Narrative
My task: try to make the motor work on treadmill.

What actually happen:


 * Didn't power up motor


 * Figure out where red wire went to.


 * Found exploded view of original treadmill

Next Step:


 * Would to be power on the motor


 * Figure out where black and yellow wire go

Website containing exploded view of the original treadmill

 File:Unknown wire.jpg|these are three wires .. need to figure out what they are hook up to. File:Treadmill Motor.jpg|top view of the treadmill File:Power wire for treadmill.jpg|in the beginning they were connected, they look like they were not supposed to be connected to each other 

 File:Circuit breaker.jpg|found the circuit breaker and it wasn't hook up to anything File:Inside the motor.jpg|this is what is inside the motor File:Treadmill label.jpg|found the model number and what store sell this treadmill 

 File:Switch after taking it off.jpg| took off the switch File:Switch front.jpg|front view of the switch File:Switch top.jpg|this picture was for identifying where the wire are connected to. File:Switch side.jpg|took this switch off the motor to look at the inside of it, this picture was for identifying where the wire are connected to. 

Week2 Narrative
my task: to work on presentation

What got done: made 3 slide, found some tv mount that we can possibly use

next step: revise power point, ask for input from team member, add more to presentation

Week3 Narrative
My task: build knowledge base on linear actuator

The task at hand is....
 * to get 3 decent side linear actuator
 * that can extend and retract the TV within a 21" limit
 * The linear actuator need to be strong enough to extend and retract the TV.

What I founded
 * http://www.firgelli.com/products.php?id=42
 * http://www.robotshop.com/en/firgelli-actuators.html

Next step
 * figure out the amount of force it will take to extend and retract the TV mount
 * buy linear actuator
 * find a motor to run the actuator

Week4 Narrative
Task:
 * To figure out where linear actuator will go
 * to figure out how to implement a pulley system in to tv mount to find out amount of force it will take actuator to move
 * find pulley system to buy

What got done:
 * made sketches of where actuator will go
 * made diagram of how pulley system could be used to figure out force
 * found many pulley system that we can get

Amazon Amazon

Next Step:
 * Pick a pulley system and buy it
 * Make 3D model of every thing in Inventor
