Goals:
1.) To be able to get the circuit to be able to function properly and work.
2.) To not break or make a mistake on anything.
3.) To be able to get work done efficiently and with minimal help.
Description of the Project:
I used a soldering iron to produce a circuit board that was capable of mimicking a six-sided die accurately. We took a few days to solder and had a descriptive explanation sheet that showed you how to start and finish the circuit.

develop a solution
construct and test prototype
evaluate solution
Conclusion:
1) No, because my calculations were not about even, number one ended up being 38.31% likely to be rolled
2) The origin was when Grace Hopper was programming and the code did not work until they went into the hardware and saw a bug in the actual hardware.

Reflection:
The alignment of certain components made me really nervous as I did not want to mess up and solder the wrong wires. But when I started, I felt more confident as my peers gave me words of advice and encouragement. The certain problems that I encountered was that my 555 timer was upside down but I did not know as my light was on but did not mimic a die, fortunately I only had a minor mistake that was fixable with no permanent damage. Although I did burn myself which really hurt and ended up having to go to the nurse. I really doubled checked everything as I checked the instructions and then checked it again, and then checked with a peer if I really was not sure. With the components, I felt really nervous about the resistors especially because I did not feel confident with my knowledge of resistors, but I worked it out well. I felt really proud about my soldering skills as I only made one mistake, it was the LED lights as one of them was not flat on the board, which was okay because I know that it was due to how I laid the board out when soldering.
