LED Thingy

The process was long and terrible mainly because I made Dr. Urbano keep bugging me to finish making my LED. I originally wanted to make my LED five months ago because I was selfish and didn’t want to share the programming LED strip with other people whenever we would program each Tuesday, but then became lazy and didn’t finish it until recently due to the deadline of the semester. The final finished product is pretty impressive.

The process was difficult due to my laziness like I said before and there were some difficulties logging in to the raspberry pi itself. I had to switch two SD cards and figure out a new program to run what I needed to run because my original program, PuTTy stopped working with my computer so I downloaded a program named SmarTTY. SmarTTY did come with a smart terminal and other more advanced interface features. Downloading this new program did end up helping me in the long run.

I learned to have better time management, to not procrastinate, and I plan to do a lot of programming over the summer.
