Electrical Testing

Since the continent cutouts didn't work yesterday, I decided to start testing code and electronics. I started with the Adafruit ESP8266 Feather and the MicroSD card. I figured out how simple .csv files are so the ESP8266 could easily parse through the data. I then created a Google, Adafruit, and IFTTT account for interacting with the ESP8266.
I started to hook up the circuit to the 5v 30A power supply but realized that I ran out of crimp connectors. A quick run to orchard solved that.
Finally, the Adafruit package that I had been waiting for got delivered. It contained the Logic Level Converter that I needed in my circuit but I was really excited for the miniature fan I bought for soldering.
 It worked wonders.
