Third Class

For week three, we focused our class period on learning to use Digital Project, which is a 3D modeling program. This class was very interesting, though at some points moved a little to fast for me to keep up, but was very useful. Our professor also put tutorials online so that if we missed something in class we have a reference to go back to, which is extremely useful. We then were divided, once again, into new groups of six and were assigned to make another heliotropic design using the arduino boards and circuts, however, this time we needed to make it follow the sun and we also had to make a Digital Project version of our design. The physical arduino design has to be made up of three light collecting cells that follow the sun, while the Digital Project design had to be more of a full version of our physical project, they do not have to be exactly the same, the ardiuno prototype just has to be simliar to our final idea. We met in our groups after class and my group right away started tossing out ideas for our project. Our meeting went very well and we were all happy with our main ideas that we came up with and what direction we wanted to take our project.
