User:Will King2013/ENES 100/Model Railroad

Week0 Preferences
Possible projects were Model Railroad, Fido, Mazie, and Maze solver. I was equally interested in the Model railroad and Fido project, followed by Maze solver, then Mazie. Eventually I chose Model Railroad as the project I would work on.

Week1 Narrative
Discussed with group what the project would be about. Talked with professor and came up with project strategy for the group. Each group member developed a list of problems involved with the project that would need solving. Here is my /problems list/.

Week2 Narrative
My goal was to research Tortoise switches and understand how they work. I found a helpful instruction manual about Tortoise Slow Motion Switches, located here: http://www.circuitron.com/index_files/INS/800-6000ins.pdf

Week3 Narrative
My goal was to learn/document more about Kadee Couplers. As well as learn how each car reacts to Kadee couplers and there magnets, and how to apply that interaction to our project.

Week4 Narrative
My goal was to continue work from week 3 on researching and documenting Kadee Couplers and how they work. Using both video and pictures to explain the operations of a Kadee Couplers. To see my progress click /here/.
