To have any idea of a lightsaber, we needed to have lights. In order to achieve this we used a Neo-pixel lit 

To start off, the only material needed to light up your neo-pixel is the actual piece, and an USB to plug into the computer and the pixel. 

                               Most of our work took place on an app called Wokwi

First things first; to connect our pico to the computer we need to:

1. Plug in our USB to the computer
2. Hold the "B" button on the bottom of the pico AS you plug it in to the computer
3. Download the file that appears in the bottom right of your computer 

Now that we have the 2 connected, you can start the coding of your actual pico

To administer this process, we are going to be using an app called Wokwi

           After getting on wowki, direct yourself to the micropython page and select the neo-pixel ring page

Wokwi demonstrates a place for us to try out the code on their computer generated neo-pixel.

Now, calm down, you don't have to configure all of this code yourself (I know I didn't).

Instead, you can find the code imprinted on wokwi, or you can just google for it. 

Now wokwi gives us valid code, and a way to test out what this would do to our pi-pico, however; it does not let us demonstrate this code on our actual pico. 

To achieve this we need to download Thonny to our computer. 

After downloading, 

For the Blade You Need to create a normal version and a mirrored version to actually make the whole blade.

 To make a mirrored Version of each Blade part you need to insert the Normal file for the part then right click on it then go to mirror, and mirror on the Y-Axis, then flip it back over.

The Blade Parts are made using the clear filaments But the handle can be made using pretty much any color filament you want.

This Part is the one that is the hardest to get right on the printer follow these instructions to get it to work

1. Drop The STL in.
2. Enter in 270 under the X section in the Rotate tool
3. Enter in 45 under the Z section in the Rotate tool
4. Make sure support is on (We tested it without and on the Bambu printers it didn't work) 

For the Mirror

1. Drop the STL in
2. Enter in 270 under the X section in the Rotate tool
3. Right Click on the Model and Mirror Along the Y-Axis
4. Enter in 45 under the Z section in the Rotate tool
5. Make sure support is on

Instructions will be put here after we have assembled it
