Created the constellation design. Cut up the model for the sky and made the holes for the stars.
65

Also connected the NEMA Motor to the driver.

### Week 11 - 17 May
68
+
Started working on the electric circuit and sticking the 92 LEDs into the right position.
69
+
Grouped the LEDs into 2 groups controlled by four pins. As I was makeing them, I was testing them
70
+
one by one. On Sunday night, I short-circuited the microcontroller.

### Week 18 - 24 May
73
+
Got a new microcontroller, then I started redoing the circuit and better isolating the wires.
74
+
On Tuesday, it worked!! Added the OLED screen, the motor and started the software part, which was the easiest.
