• created first draft of the project proposal.
• explored alternate project possibilities, including displaying just on a cylindrical surface, removing inner led display volume, and making the display scalable.
• considered which components to use, settled on the stepper motor.
• considered using individual LEDs or strip LEDs, and settled on individual LEDs to ensure LED can be individually controlled and visible from multiple angles.

• switched LED to addressable LED strip due to limited number of ports on the arduino

• designed pole, arudino and battery layer, and first LED layer
• 3d printed designed layers

• redesigned pole to be hollow so wires can be held inside the pole
