This week was cutting out all of the black letter acrylics. This process was easy because we prepared all the files prior but didn't have any acrylic to work with. Cutting out wood was harder as the wood would not fully cut so then we'd have to force it out or it would not cut at all which was frustrating. I was able to put in new letter blocks onto the board but when after winter break, I plan to put more blocks into the board. This week a lot of people have been using the laser-cutter which caused the slow down on the project. The power supply came in today and I was able to wire it into the breadboard and got it to work. Once we finish covering the LEDs then we will test out the code that Jaspreet has done. The code works nicely and reacts to the real time. While I was home, I decorated the puzzle box to make it more appealing.
