Write problem/project Goal
THE PROBLEM STATEMENT  We need to repair, modify and program a electric wheel chair. We are going to make it function faster and give it the ability to switch from manual to automatic. We will make it have at least one robotic function that would make the chair unique. 

FIND  Trouble shoot and find what needs to be repaired and how the chair can be modified and program to function safely in manual and automatic to program it to function with at least one robotic/automatic function. 

SOLUTION

My First Task
Help with finding different structures of the wheel chair.

Summary of actual work over first weekend
I found youtube videos of difffernt wheelchair models that we could possilbly make.

Week1 Narrative
Over the weekend i kept reaserching on different functions of the wheelchair.

My Second Task
I am going to work on the kinect to see if it connects to the wheelchair.

Summary of actual work over second weekend
Instead of the kinect i took an arduino. I reseached the basics of the arduino and got the arduino to make an LED work. I went to the arduino website http://arduino.cc/ dowloaded the arduino software and also found the code to make the arduino turn on and of http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Blink....i just couldnt find find a program to that would apply to our wheel chair that is making the wheel chair autonomous.

Week2 Narrative
i gave mina the work of researching the arduino and looking for the prograam that will make our wheel chair function as we want...i took pictures of the wheel chair and im planning on researching its specifics.

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

Summary of actual work over third weekend
i loked up the whel chair but couldnt find it and also the parts of the wheel chair...i just found sites selling wheel chairs and projects that pertain to the wheel chair but nothing to really help me figure out what the wheel chair components do.

Week3 Narrative
i looked up the inverter of the wheel chair ..again didnt find anything useful

My Fourth task
i will be taking the wheel chair apart to analyze the motors of the wheel chair and see if i can test them to make them work and connect them to the arduino which mina will have the program on it that will tell the motor what to do

Summary of actual work over fourth weekend
Instead of testing the motors due to my lack of knowledge of the wheel chairs specifics...looked up all i could about wheel chairs.this is an alternative if we choose to abonden the arduino plan controlled wheel chair plan http://www.rehab.research.va.gov/jour/92/29/1/pdf/ more http://wakaumi.pdf..this is the arduino websitehttp:the arduino website//http://www.arduino.cc/...

Week4 Narrative
I collected more info on the wheel chair because we did not complete our project...this info will help the next team''
