Morning Time: 

• Me and julio talked about what we need to do so we can finish my final project.
• then we made a list where we prioritize what we need to finish by today
• first we finalized the circuit by testing new buttons.

Evening Time: 

•  i made prototype box so can see if it the dimension would work or not.
•   i measured the size of the components  to determine the require length and width 
• then julio started to fix the codes to integrate the sensors
• then i started to doing the work to transfer this curcite from the breadboard to the perfboard
• then i cleaned up

WHAT I DID TODAY TO MY ICE CREAM TRUCK

• added LED lights
• fixed the motor
• put on the wheels
• added a sensor
• made it move

WHAT I STILL NEED TO DO

• make it out of plexii glass
• install electronics
• :)
  

• some people came to help us with our projects


• two women helped us with the arduino code
  


• we worked with jaymes on our ice cream truck

• it was a helpful thing that those people came in and helped us
  

• the women helped also with making sure everything was working with our truck

green fab work

Afternoon

• this afternoon when i got here i started on making the build on my final project to make it move
• first i laser cut 6 1.5 inch boxes to make a stand for my electronics.
• second i put ball bearings on the side to make it move.
• third i made my electronic work on a arduino without a bread board using a battery.
• finally for the day i put the box and the electronics together to make the stand in the runway for my project.by the way my project is a runway with a plane that goes back and fourth and turns with a servo horn.

What i need to do after

• My final steps for next time is finishing the prototype.
• after that i make the final project out of laser cutting wood.
• then after that make sure everything is in place and working.

Thsi morning in GreenFab

• some people came to help us with our projects


• we were assigned one person to student


• Iworked with jaymes on my LM386


• Ifollowed a diagram on how to build the LM386


• it was VERY helpful

This afternoon in GreenFab

• Icame in and quickly returned to my circuit


• I had to solder some wires to get the potentiometer to work


• we ran into a problem but when i looked over the diagram again i noticed that we didn't connect a wire to leg #6


• so once we fixed the problem we tested the circut on a speaker i found lying around


• (only because i didn't know how powerful the AMP was and didn't want to damage the speakers i was actually going to use.)

05-26-11

• Today we was continued working on our final project
• i finished my box
• i had to make a new design for ma box
• and i still have to redesign my robot tower
• I unplugged everything so now i have to rewire everything again.
• I have to figure out how im gonna attach the tower to base
  

1.today we worked on our final project
2. my project is a mobile lit/night light
3. i drilled some holes so the LED get inside (pause)
4. i did a lot of mistakes in the drilling part, some piece would break or something would be wrong with i t
5. i did a sketch on the thingy that the lights would hang from.

1. i have to solder the circuit on a perfboard
2. make the pieces for the base that will hang
3. i have to put the pieces together
