Daily Log

Week 1 (6/1 - 6/5)

• Attended REU Introduction Session, and became acquainted with co-researchers
• Discussed with Dr.Brylow and co-researchers about what research project we should work on
• Took pre-REU NSF survey
• Started researching block based programming dialects and languages
• Started to learn how to make basic programs in Scratch(block based programming language) in order to become better acquainted with research project
• Attended library resources orientation with Heather James
• Discussed with Dr.Brylow about previous REU's group contribution to MUzECS, and access to the MUzECS repository
• Attended research discussion with Dr. Factor
• Installed Arduino and Ardublock software
• Learned about LaTex and downloaded it
• Outlined goals with research group members

Week 2 (6/5 - 6/12)

• Discussed with group members and Dr. Brylow on weekly milestones and objectives
• Perused through MUzECS code repository in order to better understand how to construct blocks graphically and how to use them logically in making programs
• Met with Dr. Brylow and group members
• Attended sample research presentation by Dr. Factor
• Tested programs made in Ardublock on working Arduino Leonardo boards
• Started reading Resnik et al.

Week 3

• Met with Dr.Brylow and showed him the progress so far on the research project/li>\
• Began to read Google's documentation on Blockly
• Receive a virtual machine server to run our Blockly website on from Dr.Brylow

Week 4

• Met with Dr.Brylow and showed him the progress so far on the research project/li>
• Work on visualization code for the blocks and make sure they are the same as Ardublock's blocks
• Download ino arduino compiler on virtual machine
• Make python program on our virtual machine server that sends arduino code from website to ino compiler
• Make the python program multi-threaded in order to handle more requests at a time
• Add logging capabilities to the python program so that we can debug any errors in the future easier
