Today in class I almost am finishing putting toghter my pen. The only things I am missing are sticking in the battery more because there is a wire sticking out and also take out the ir led top because it went in by mistake so I have to take tweezers and get it out but after that I am done building it!

May 5, 2009

Today in class I connected everything to everything it works perfectly. Except for one thing the battery does not fit throw the hole of the marker. It fits jsut a bit, it does not go throw to the top. I have no idea what to do:S.

Today in class I have to restart the pen with the wiring because the wire came out of the battery and the LED light. I had to change the wire to another one becasue this one I had was a bit broken. I DO NOT like this project that much anymore because I have had to start like three or four times. I had to cut two more wires. The problem was the the momentary swicth!

April 29, 2009

Today in class I connected all the the wire to everything. I had to this a couple of times because it got desconnected and then from another wire also, I have put everything in the pen already!!

April 28, 2009

Today in class I had to take the wire and connect it to the momentary swicth and the ir led light. I think I got the two positives togther and the two negatives togther, but I am not sure. I have to connect it the battery the to the other switchs and place them all inside the marker and I will be done!

Today in class I made a hole in the expo marker using a soldering tool, which is a little machine that looks like a pen in a spiral cover. The pen heats up and you make a hole in the pen, but you CAN NOT touch it because it gets very hot.

Today we started the Wiimote Whiteboard project. I started fliming the materials part and the removing the interal guts. Removing the internal guts was a bit hard to because the marker at the end was stuck. The ink was easy to remove, the point was not coming out easliy but then I changed pliers and it came out.

Today we started something new we did the wiimote instructions. On Friday we have to bring a pen.

April 13, 2009

Blog 1

I would like to learn many things from principals of technologies 2. One of the things that most interest me is Photoshop and graphic design or something like that. I have used Photoshop already but I am not very good at it. I have never done graphic design or anything of that matter, but it interests me. Also I would to learn how to edit a photograph. For example like how to erase something without erasing the background just the object.
