In order to delegate the workflow equally between members, we divided the necessary tasks into three main sections - Electronics, Coding and Assembly. We then discussed which tasks we each would prefer doing during the course of the project. The following are the roles each member has chosen:

With our project components arrived, we began by making test connections between the acquired parts, aiming to create a dynamic LED strip display. Additionally, we worked on establishing test connections for the button input to the LED display. To prepare for the assembly process, we started desoldering the LED strips and laying them out on a plywood board. Our focus then shifted to the assembly phase. We started soldering the LED strips together. Simultaneously, we started deconstructing code references to implement in the main project's circuit, ensuring the desired functionality.

This week was challenging, as we encountered difficulties with the soldering process, which led to minimal progress. However, our project received valuable guidance from Sir Billy, who shared proper soldering techniques and recommended suitable equipment. Following this consultation, we regrouped to search for the necessary equipment and restructure our project workflow accordingly.
