So we’re actually making progress everyday on our invention. Today we officially finished painting our mural (we finished most of it after school yesterday) and it looks super good. Since we bought theĀ 6 packsĀ of LED lights yesterday, now we just have to work on sodering all of them. The hard part is that we need to know exactly where on the board we’re going to put the LED’s so that we know if we need to soder wires onto the LED’s to make them connect. We’re using Doc’s drill to drill holes into the board (where the LED’s will fit) and hopefully we can finish this part in class tomorrow. Since we pretty much already know how to use the arduino, once we finish all the sodering, we can connect the wires to the breadboard and were done. It’s not hard, but takes a lot of time to do. Thank you again for understanding our situation and giving us an extension till monday.
This is the prices we have used so far (hope we get reimbursed)
-LEDs (about $26)
-Blue paint (about $19)
-Wires (we need to buy a roll for Doc)
-Resistors (we need to get these asap as well)
UPDATE at 7:59 pm
After school Christina and I drilled all the holes on the jellyfish so that tomorrow we can just soder. We only made holes in the tentacles (doing it by portions) because we don’t know if we have enough LEDs right now to fit around the jellyfish.
See you tomorrow
