1/26

Used a circuit Arduino and programmed some simple code to have it rotate back and forth at varying speeds.

1/27

Tried using keyboard and mouse input with the Arduino but found out that the model can't use the library for keyboard control. The next goal is to try and efficiently use multiple servos on one Arduino (without much sacrifice of space).

3/1

Researched servo motor drivers and how to use them in conjunction with Arduino Boards. This will be used later on to run multiple motors on one board

3/3

Put together the servo motor driver with the Arduino board with one servo motor connected

3/11

Found out that the code isn't reaching the loop, need to find out what's causing this. Probably due to a wiring issue

3/14

Found out that the VCC and ground wires had to be directly connected to the Arduino on the breadboard. This is probably because without being directly connected to it, the Arduino isn't able to communicate with the servo driver

3/21

Decided to try using the digital pins directly on the Arduino Uno instead of using the servo driver

3/22

Was able to run two servo motors at once using the Arduino Uno

3/23

Was able to run all five servos with the Arduino

3/24

Ran five servo motors independently, used "180 - angle" to make all of them turn the same way. Some of the servos rotated towards us while others rotated away so using that fixed the problem

3/29

Was able to make 3 servo states for 30, 60, and 90 degrees. Used a for loop to have each servo go to that degree. There is somewhat of a delay with each servo going to the defined position

4/13

Tried using Intel DeepSense code in Pycharm, but ran into issues because of a "pip" file.

4/20

Was able to solve the "pip" problem by reinstalling PyCharm and Python
