This week, we will be having four continuous days that we can utilize to continue work on our microplate reader, and because its Christmas Eve today we were all super happy!

As we try try again to write out the code to control the number of times the LED light will blink, the duration of the light to be on, and the duration of the light to be off, one of us finally succeeded in writing out the code in the afternoon! The reason why we tried to write out the code to manipulate a LED light was because the code behind controlling a motor, in which regulates how the plate holder will move in both X and Y directions, is actually quite similar to the code controlling the LED light. The number of times the LED light will blink corresponds to the number of times the motor will move and the duration of each blink corresponds to the movement of each step of the motor's movements.

Adding on, we also assembled the beams, the belt, and the track that regulates how the plate holder will move along the X-axis with those that control the plate holder moving along the Y-axis. 

The sense of accomplishment, finally getting things done after weeks of preparation, drilling holes, 3D printing models, and learning how to code, feels just so good as our hears are filled with pride and happiness.
