Devlog3

  • I looked into the WS RP2040 microcontroller
    apparently, it has a lot of pads and an addressable LED
  • I soldered up all the components and set up a script to see if the OLED works

Devlog 2

  • I soldered wires to all peripheral components
  • I haven’t touched the microcontroller yet (WS RP2040) because I need to read the datasheet, otherwise I risk damaging it.
