Project commencement: plan and guidelines to follow

Reflection step 1: creation of the PCB either pre-assembled or self-assembled, knowing there are about a hundred components

March 3, 2024

Begin reverse engineering the PCB without having prior knowledge on the subject

March 9, 2024

Completion of the electrical schematic of the PCB after ~10 hours

March 13, 2024

Finished component placement on the PCB

March 17, 2024

PCB and assembly completed, cost $33/2 PCBs

Progress on the other electronic part of the project with the ESP32

March 23, 2024

PCB does not work after checking each component

March 31, 2024

Continue research and start thinking about a Plan B

April 5, 2024

Begin coding the ESP32: Game of Life + LED control

April 19, 2024

Resoldering the PCB because it was not done properly

PCB resoldered

PCB still does not work

April 23, 2024

ESP32 broken, need to find a new idea

May 9, 2024

3D model design

May 23, 2024

New code + acquisition of new components

May 26, 2024

Final 3D printing and prototyping, and final assembly

May 29, 2024

Presentation + filling out Hackaday
