1 – Push Button

1 – Red LED

1 – Green LED

Male to female jumper wires

Jumper wires

In order to efficiently develop this project, I decided to wire and test individual components as I went along. Using tutorials from class and online sources referenced below, allowed me to make certain of component’s function before adding more components. Wiring a buzzer, push button, temperature sensor, and 6 LEDs became very difficult on such a small board.  After wiring the LEDs, I should have realized that I needed to transfer to a larger board. In the future, I would also like to become more efficient with board layout. After the functionality of the components was verified, numerous resources were used to develop code that allowed all candle burning event criteria to be met.
