Progress Made this past week:

• Lining material cut
• coding successfully done
• bellows patch pocket concept researched
• ideas on where to integrate the electronics

What needs accomplishing:

• Need to find a sewable material to conduct light through the cuff bands (plastic cording essentially)
• find a better dedicated power source for my cuff lights (coin cell lilypad broken)
• cut my new pockets for the jacket and sew the lining material

Next week:

• Copy/paste the code except for second pin set to have two functioning light up pockets
• experiment sewing translucent material into the cuffs
• make a schematic for the wiring

What percentage would you estimated that you have completed for your project?

• 60% completed

How much has the project changed since your initial pitch? My project has stayed true to the original, except utilizing only one light sensor

• My project has stayed true to the original being a custom made jacket incorporating the lighting functionality. I have scaled back and only am utilizing one light sensor

What major hurdles do you have left?

• finish an integrated design of the electronic components into the jacket (circuits)
• find a material that I can use to transpose lights through the cuffs
• finish construction of the jacket after electronics have been embedded
