    1st week: Created led lights w lights pulsing, designing wall for cube, settled on a design. Set backs we faced included, issues w connecting circuit and tinkercad dimensions, also Hackaday website is down.

    2nd week: focused on the prototype and making the dif walls of the cube, finalized details and began working on making other sides, my j key broke, hackaday fixed and log will be transfered, hackaday still a little shakey,
    New boost

    3rd week: we worked on the design and finalized it, out group finished the walls in tinkercad. We took pictures of our project and added them all in Hackaday. 

    Week 4: major design changes, we switched from python to c++,  as well as changing our light system.

    Week 5: Started using a new board, worked on connecting an 8x8 neo pixel wall, we also added screw holes to our wall design. We also faced some wiring issues, and we posses a bread board now.

    Week 6: Started 3d printing the walls. Managed to get the light isplay to light up, we struggled to connect the slide pot to the 8x8 neo pixel pallet.
