Checking the electrical flowToday I finished gluing down all of the bulbed wires, including the one I soldered from last week. I then went through each wire to make sure that all the lights lit up. I did this with the assistance of some alligator clips (pictured below). The yellow alligator clip connected to GND on the arduino while the red alligator clip connected to the bread board. All of the bulbs lit up! Success! After I checked all of the wires/bulbs, I curved all of the wire ends upwards. My next task is to connect all of the negative wires together. But before I do that, I need to come up with a game plan.
There are only 8 wires, when in fact we need 9 wires. (8 for the positive wires and 1 for all of the negative wires.) We will probably wrap an additional wire around the cord to address this issue.
Next time I will work on connecting all of the negative wires.
