**Week 10 (Nov 29 - Dec 05)**

 * Done:**
 * Receive the board
 * Solder the board and test it. It works :)
 * Modify the source code for the accelerometer
 * Rami found the "thing" that can be used as the top of the candle.


 * What I will do next:**
 * Prepare documentation (Powerpoint for demo)
 * Rehearsal for demo
 * Demo at 9AM Thursday (12/09/2010)

**Week 9 (Nov 22 - Nov 28)**

 * Done:**
 * 


 * What I will do next:**
 * Expect to receive PCB from Sunstone
 * Solder boards
 * Test and debug to make sure the the board meet the requirement
 * Issue:**
 * Expect to receive the board this week but not yet receive
 * Sunstone sent out the boards but UPS cannot ship until next Monday

**Week 8 (Nov 16 - Nov 22)**

 * Done:**
 * Finish coding
 * Send CAM files
 * Find the base of the product


 * What I will do next:**
 * Continue to looking for the top of the housing
 * Hopefully board will arrive next week so we can start soldering

**Week 7 (Nov 9 - Nov 15)**

 * Done:**
 * CAM files is ready to send to Sunstone
 * Make the test plan


 * What I will do next:**
 * As soon as the new sponsorship is approved, submit CAM files
 * Looking for the housing of the product


 * Issue:**
 * There was a problem with sponsorships from Sunstone

**Week 6 (Nov 2 - Nov 8)**

 * Done:**
 * Almost done coding part.
 * Go review with Andrew:
 * - Redraw the schematic, use wires instead of label
 * - Don't use zener diode for regulator
 * - Add 100n cap every where that connects to Vcc
 * - Don't put the cap underneath the uC
 * - Make the width of power trace bigger


 * What I will do next:**
 * Finish the layout, last version
 * Prepare CAM files for Sunstone
 * Apply for sponsorship from Sunstone
 * Order missing part (LM317 or LM1117v33 or LD1117, 100n capacitor)

**Week 5 (Oct 26 - Nov 1)**

 * Done:**
 * Finish the prototype
 * Add new feature to the product: IR module


 * What I will do next:**
 * Go review the schematic and layout
 * Finish coding

**Week 4 (Oct 18 - Oct 25)**

 * Done:**
 * Done the TO DO list in week 3.
 * Program some simple code to get familiar with ATmega328 (timer, ADC)


 * What I will do next:**
 * Checking the prototype
 * Finish the layout

Week 3 (Oct 10 - Oct 16)
**To do**:
 * Done:**
 * Place order
 * Start to build main blocks for the schematic
 * Finish the schematic
 * Receive parts and build the circuit on breadboard for testing

 * Discuss with team to go to final decision
 * Install Eagle CAD and try it
 * To do next week:**
 * Design and draw schematic with eagle
 * Install AVRstudio for programming ATmega
 * List the parts and order
 * List the parts and order
