Kevyn Herrera - July 22nd, 2013
Today, and and Andy worked to try to get the wring hooked up to the solar panels properly. Often, the solar panels would break or the wires would come off. It was quite the stressful experience to then find that the solar panels did not produce enough energy to power even one LED light.
Kevyn Herrera - July 23rd, 2013
I worked with Andy again to continue to wire the solar panels. After realizing that there was still much else to get done and the solar panels could be sauntered later, we started to build the green house that would go in our park model. We decided to make a slanted roof and use acrylic for the house, in order to mimic the idea that i would get the maximum amount of sun light if this idea were to be implimented.

Today, I worked on making our characters out of wire and modeling clay. I also made garden sections for our park model. I am going to continue to work on making the rest of the characters throughout the rest of the week.

Manisha Rattu - July 22nd, 2013
Today I worked on determining the proportions of the board for our final working model. I also programmed the sensors so that the LEDs turn on if there is no light, but remain off if there is light. I worked on cleaning up the company website a bit. I also learned that the square green LED gives off a very bright yellowish light that we can use. And the sensors have different sensitivities so that one is more sensitive than the other. I played around with the GoGo board and attempted different ways to utilize it. I plan to continue with the programming and lighting, as well as the website and ensuring the project moves along.
Manisha Rattu - July 23rd, 2013
Today I worked on programming the GoGo board. I learned how to program two different sensors to light up two separate LEDS. The LEDs won't light up if only one sensor is activated, they will only work if both are. I am also working on the motion sensor right now and attempting to determine it's range. The code for the sensors is as follows:
to example8
forever [ ifelse (sensor1 > 800) and (sensor2 > 500)[a,on b, on][a,off b, off]]
end
Manisha Rattu - July 24th, 2013
Today I continued working with programming the GoGo board and determined that we would place six LEDs on on our board and use two light sensors. I also began placing objects onto out model, such as the grass, people, and playground. I also worked on organizing the website and creating the PowerPoint.

July 22,2013- Today i designed the gazebo and the street lights for the park. I drew both items on sketchup and printed them out on the 3-D printer. I had to design and then re-design each object a couple of times because we would find minor flaws that needed to be fixed.
July 23,2013- Today we found out that the gazebo did not print properly but since we didn't have enough time to print another one i had to come up with a quick fix for it. then i had to redesign my light post one final time. Once i finished this i printed them out and put the solar panels on the gazebo.
July 24,2013- Today i wired the LED lights from the bread board, through the lamppost, and finally to the LED. this was very challenging because the wires were too thick so we had to find an alternative solution. the solution we came up with was have one bare wire and one wire with a cover and push it through the lamppost.

Kimberly Narciso - July 22nd, 2013 Today I searched an image of the Highland Ranch Park in Pittsburg on google maps. Then I used the picture to create a basic outline of the park.
Kimberly Narciso - July 23rd, 2013
Today I finished the Highland Ranch Park outline and printed many tests on cardboard with the laser printer. I also fixed all the errors that occurred with the trials.
Kimberly Narciso - July 24th, 2013
Today I did final touches on the outline of the park. I also made the clay model of the playground and wood models of park benches.
Kimberly Narciso - July 25th, 2013
Today I am printing the final outline of the park on Birch Plywood, and working on the website.

Andy Cai (7252013)
Today I completed the production of a scaled down model of a greenhouse made of acrylic. I also helped out with the soldering (solar panels connected to wires).
Andy Cai (7242013)
Today I completed making the cardboard model of the greenhouse, as well as figure some of the proportions needed for the greenhouse on the board itself.
Andy Cai (7232013)
Today I soldered wires onto approximately 5 solar panels, with a minimal amount of broken ones (about 2). I also helped out measuring the energy output of the solar panels with a multimeter.
Andy Cai (7222013)
Brainstormed with the group today; it was quite fun. Also started work with the solar panels (broke 1, my bad).
