Starter Project:  #11 Useless machine

Main Project: #115 Smart Dog Collar

Major Steps to complete the project:

1. Make sure all parts have arrived as planned
2. Draw a schematic that shows every wire that will need to be connected.
3. Wire three vibrating discs and battery to the particle electron board- Milestone
4. Make a pouch to hold board, discs, and battery (using sewing machine possibly).
5. Write and test code that will make the dics vibrate- Milestone
6. Attach pouch to the dog collar and test
7. Create full documentation, write a blog post describing the system, and post everything on your webpage.- milestone

Potential Modifications:

1. Wire sound sensor and/or speed sensor to arduino, write code for sensors and attach them to collar
