This week was a fairly productive week coming back from break. Before break I got my LED panels soldered up and managed to also make them turn on so this week I focused on making the LEDs flash and then attaching them on to my cardboard zoetrope. I screwed on the LED panels after cutting out a new panel of cardboard that would actually hold all the LEDs and then I put all the electronics inside the cardboard zoetrope. I managed to get the motor running in tandem with the new lights after having a little hiccup when I burnt out my motor driver. Regardless I got the zoetrope together all I have left to do is wire up an ESC onto the zoetrope to convert the 36 volts from the power supply to 5 volts so it can power the metro mini.
