With the new enclosure and sort-of new PCB, I was excited for the Hello world.
In this case, it was making sure all the components played nicely together. 

I normally worked in the Arduino IDE (as seen from previous logs) but since earlier this year, I've started using Platformio in VS code. The code is pretty easy to transfer, but I haven't tested it with the Arduino IDE yet. Something to add to the list of things to do while cleaning up this project. 

I've also gotten a new repo going on GitHub which will serve as the main repo for the AlgaLite project going forward.

The first test took a bit of tinkering with to get right. Mainly due to the use of the Lolin 32 lite board instead of the Wemos D1 mini for which the PCB was designed. 

But in the end, I got everything working using a basic test script.
