It was a bit challenging to find all the parts, I ended up going to several locations in town and making two different orders online. After completing some breadboard tutorials, I assembled the components I had on hand. Finally, I figured out how I will hide all the larger components &#8211; I will include a sewn \u2018magic lamp\u2019 to go on the corner of the carpet, which can contain all the battery packs and avoid lumps. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Problems or Issues: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I hope I don\u2019t need any additional components! I\u2019m a bit worried about the 555\/servo circuit &#8211; if the tutorial doesn\u2019t work, I don\u2019t have the expertise to trouble shoot it. \u00a0Also one of the wires for the battery pack on the POV kit came undone, so I will have to re-solder that before I can re-program it.. The only plushie magic lamps to be found for sale are $50 collectors items, so I\u2019ll have to sew my own.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Week Plan: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Begin sewing!
