 Received the 3d printed parts from the support lab and finished two of the four clamp systems , two of the sliders 
 broke so i will need to wait until i buy two more and assemble the rest of the project.

+Color sensor broke so i have to resort to using the laptop camera for color detection.
+I finished assembling the project and began final tests.

 ## Hardware
 My project is based around the STM32U5 provided at the lab to take the solution generated on my computer using Kociemba's algorithm and control the rotating clamps. The 4 clamps are designed with a pair of 
 SG90 servos each, one servo moves the clamp away and towards the cube, while the other rotates the face of the cube 90 or 180 degrees.
-The color of each piece of the cube is detected using the TCS34725 color sensor seated separately  from the main mechanism to ensure no external interference with the sensor.
+The color of each piece of the cube is detected with my laptop camera using the nokwha crate.
