Hi! This week of work was simple, and I wanted it that way because we recently came back from Winter Break. I didn't want to dive back into the Hunter's Journal project just yet, so I decided to make something small in the meantime. I searched for a bit and landed on making bookends for a new shelf I got. I modeled the bookends in a day and able to get a prototype cut out by the end of two-day week I had coming back from Break. I had to change the screw hold placements a lot while trying to figure out how far away the PVC pipe needed to be. (The Bookends were steampunk inspired). I than glued the pipe-holders on the wood holding up the books, after it dried I than glued the two wooden pieces together. Most of the week was spent waiting for glue to dry. After both bookends were glued together, I spray-painted them and put it all together.

(I forget to take pictures making it, but I took one with it on my shelf)


I had time to work on the Light Code for the Hunter's Journal and got reminded of problem I had with it before break. The LEDS are changing color without correct button-pressed amount. I thought it was the delays, but that shouldn't be a problem because each color is separated into their own case STATE. I'm going to try my best to, at least, figure out what the problem is and try to fix it. Going to start from the basics and writes some code where the button turns on each LED one-by-one.
