For our Arduino project we have decided to create a three speed fan powered by a DC motor.  The current design is such that a Piezo element will turn the fan on and then any consecutive knocks will cycle through the fans 3 speeds and then finally turn the fan off.  To distinguish which setting the fan is on  a single led light will turn on and an additional light will turn on for each consecutive speed.  Additionally, a heat sensor will be incorporated such that the temperature is displayed on an LCD.  A SolidWorks assembly of the various components we intend to have made by the 3d printer has been created.  Our two group meetings this week occurred on Tuesday 11-12-13 and Friday 11-15-13, during which both members attended.  The goal we set to accomplish was to update our blog with all of the appropriate information.
