Soldering and Finishing

In this session, I worked on soldering the components together. While it should have been a simple process, a tricky component turned it into a two-hour task, but everything now works as intended.

• Micro USB Challenges: Struggled with the Micro USB port because it was a bare USB port rather than a proper 5V breakout board.
• Soldering Difficulties: Faced issues soldering wires directly to the tiny pins without bridging them or having the connections fall off.
• Cable Solution: Resolved the issue by cutting a standard USB cable and soldering those wires directly into the circuit instead.
• Current Status: The solution works perfectly as intended, even though the internal wiring is not quite as sleek as originally planned.
• Future Improvements: Plan to replace this current setup with a proper breakout board in a future iteration to make the design cleaner.
