Members present: Joy, Gordon

• Started work on bare bones arduino
• We had some minor hiccups following the schematic to build the arduino
• After assembling the arduino, we tried to test it with the example blink code, when we plugged in the micro usb into the ftdi chip, the red led turned on
• Jay (our mentor) was telling us this was a good indication that the arduino was constructed correctly. We initially used a Mac to upload the code to the arduino but after the IDE said that the code uploaded “successfully”, the light did not blink as expected.
• We then tried it on the SCEL desktops (Windows) but got errors trying to upload the code.
• Created document for mid semester report due October 31
• Jay spent like a whole hour trying to trouble shoot for us
