My Instructor's user page which points to this.

My task was

 * get any knowledge about the project TV under the bed.
 * Find any photos that can match with the design we want to build.
 * Eventually get certified if necessary.

What I did

 * This video describes linear actuator design

Proposed next steps

 * design the materiel.
 * implement or combine it at the lab.
 * observe the result.
 * keep working to improve the model we want to implement.

defined Problem
Big flat screens are mounted flat against most walls. Mounts exist that are purely mechanical but can push the TV from under a bed, out from the wall, tilt up and down, swivel left and right. Yet they are all manual in operation. The goal is to add some people watching ability to the TV's so they point themselves at you wherever you are in the room.

Conceive
TV wall-mount varies from basic fixed-mount designs to those with nearly unlimited flexibility for positioning the TV. Depending on what the person want the bracket to be able to do, there exits several wall-mount types. one person will prefer to adjust the TV to be able to get a better view from different seats. Another would like to be able to angle the TV for optimum viewing. the goal with the first step of Spying TV is to :
 * build knowledge base on wall-mount types
 * decide what design to develop for the next steps.

Design
from basic fixed mount designs to those with flexibility we have: Each design differ from others according to:
 * Flat-mount design.
 * Tilt-mount design.
 * Tilt/Swivel-mount design.
 * Articulating-mount design.
 * the distance from the wall.
 * the angle adjustment.
 * the bracket used.

Implement
this step requires to know what tools and dimensions to use. how far should a flat-panel TV mounted from the wall? what is the angle adjustment for the basic tilt-mount design? what bracket to use in order to get a full motion panel TV? what is the most sophisticated wall-mount type?


 * good answers.
 * video on how to obtain a full motion mount 26-47" TVs.
 * choose the proper wall mount bracket.

Operate
videos found on youtube:
 * video wall-mount flat panel TV.
 * Tilting TV wall mount bracket installation guide.
 * Full motion mount 26-47" TVs.
 * learning what bracket to use.

Demo
video1,video2,and viseo3 would be provided as a demo for the first part of Spying TV. Next Steps will develop a specific design.

presentations

Next Steps

 * decide which design to develop.
 * choose the proper bracket.
 * follow the safety tips.
 * get to know the dimensions of the TV.

Problem Statement
A code strategy can be established from which a car or a TV directional decision making can be made. It is possible to master the mechanism of an Arduino circuit board to control forward, backward, and stopping. the same strategy base on coding is applicable to control, forward, swivel from left to right for wall mounting TV.

My Task Was
My task this week was to :
 * figure out the software used for an arduino an arduino program.
 * figure out the basics instructions used into the cores functions of an arduino circuit board.
 * play with each instructions of an arduino program.

What I Did
I discovered that the arduino software is made up Simple programs that demonstrate basic Arduino commands. These are included with the Arduino environment. To open them, here is the process:
 * 1) First, download the software through the website arduino.cc.
 * 2) second, we can access the different cores functions of an arduino program by:
 * 3) clicking the Open button on the toolbar and look in the examples folder.
 * 4) or under File go to Examples to see a bunch of predefined functions of an arduino program.

I would like to present some programs of the different cores functions that we can find after downloading the software through the arduino website.

this program is a function named Blink.it turns the light on and off after one second. It is represented by the instruction delay(1000); into the void loop function.

Here is another code named ReadAnalogVoltage.

Actually when working, I expected to see more effect into the arduino board with the execution of the different core functions. the execution into the arduino IDE was perfect, but I saw no effect into the arduino board. I got confused at a certain time when working through each arduino code. we will discuss of this matter with the group to see how to have more exciting results from the arduino code to the arduino board.

Next Steps
-analyse a code adapted for wall mounting TVs.

-explore other possibilities of code adapted to the design wall mount TVS.

My Task Was
This week my task was to :
 * play more with the arduino software, and motor shield program.
 * have the two motors turn clockwise, pose, and have them turn counter clockwise.

What I Did
I found this source very interesting from spark-fun, to have an idea of a Monster Motor Shield Example Sketch.
 * I modified different variables of the motor shield program,but the motors still continue turning opposite directions.
 * I realized that each motor turn clockwise and counter clockwise, after a certain delay, and I still need to review the code.
 * figure out why the motor fails to turn to the same directions, pose and make a counter clockwise movement.

this video 1shows that the light is turning clockwise and counter clockwise.

video 2 uses a flag.

Both videos video 1 and video 2 are still what I do not expect the motors to do. The movement of the flag should be clockwise, pose and then counter clockwise.

Next Steps

 * Still continue to work with the motor shield program.
