With the modules ready and both having an LCD, we started a little competition...

For the HaD Prize we printed a little welcome-message in the upper row of the LCD and made a speed-test for faster typing. We decided to type the name of our STEM club, SFB.Berlin.... ready, set, GO:

And Lucca did clearly win our competition ;-)

There is still room for improvement - e.g. we had the Joystick-Module sitting on top of the box, because the joysticks needs space below the board. Next improvement will include some woodwork again...

We then designed some casing for the LCD driver board and some attachments and 3d-printed them. Here is a screenshot of how the entire construction should look line (files are along with code in the github repo):

After everything was printed, we put it together and tested it. We are very proud to have reached this stage so quickly coming from breadboard, wires and sticky tape just a few days ago:

Finally reached a presentable stage at our project...
