What did I accomplish this week?

• I fully gutted my lamp, now it’s just the shell.
• I made sure the arduino and accompanying wires will fit in the base of the lamp.
• I received the items I had ordered in the mail, and found good documentation on the LCD on canvas.
• Started to consider a sound component, but still unsure about that.
• Looked at how far back the neopixel would go in the lamp head.

What do I plan to have done by next week?

• Definitely need to push this week. I’m going to get working on the neopixel, as it definitely was intimidating when I first looked at it this week.
• Keep working on the LCD
• Start measuring and figuring out if I need anything else before I get too close to the end.

What was the most challenging part of the project this week?

• Getting started. I have so much going on that getting going is seeming really overwhelming. I am trying to break it into sections. I will do that below just for my own sanity.

Breaking into parts what I need to do

• Test neopixel
• Test RTC with LCD
• Test RTC with neopixel
• Test how to get LCD working properly
• Input of time
• How long the wake up sequence will be, or how fast the lights will get brighter
• Turning on normal lamp vs sleeping sequence
• Cutting apart the lamp base for input area to connect to computer
