Write problem/project Goal
The goal of this project is to open a door with a certain number of of knocks will unlock the door with the stock door handle

My First Task
My task for the first week is to get information on previous knock -knock projects to see how they did it, and see what we can use from them.

Summary of actual work over first weekend
I went onto hackerpsaces, and a few instructables, and gathered information that might be useful for the project

Week1 Narrative
''I sifted through the hackerspaces online, and looked for any door projects that might be similar to ours, and found a the following pages:

[Automated Dorm Room Door]

[Knock Knock Lock]

After that, I went onto youtube to look for any videos, and found one that showed a finished product to a door very similar to our design: Youtube video

Then I found an instructable that had a code for an arduino project very similar with my own, so I copied that code

Here

My Second Task
''I will be using the code I found for an arduino, and implementing it into our arduino. I will also try to tweak any issues the code has.''

Summary of actual work over second weekend
I downloaded the arduino 1.0.1 program, tested the code I found last week, and set up the arduino for a speaker test run

Week2 Narrative
I hooked up the arduino to my lap top, and then set it up as it should be for a speaker test, as shown Here

I then studied the example codes for input on the arduino 1.0.1 program, and tried to get the LED to respond to sound inputed into the speaker, but I couldn't get a consistent response

My Third task
I will be finishing testing the speaker, by using and altering the example codes until I can get a consistent response from the LED, then I will learn some more of the programming language so that I can code the arduino for whatever door opening design we pick

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

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

Summary of actual work over fourth weekend
I searched the web for arduino code in previous knock-knock projects to see how previous projects coded the arduino to respond to specific knocking patterns.

Week4 Narrative
I searched the web for previous knock-knock projects code. I found several sources for code:

Source 1

Source 2

However, both the sources required a programming button, and more complex arduino set up than I had, so I fiddled with my original knock-knock code(Here) to see if I could make it respond only to a specific pattern, but it didn't work.
