<p>We decided to test this circuit using light from an LED in order to ensure the circuit's functionality. The following plot was produced:</p>

<figcaption>Voltage response of the device to light perturbation over time. The first initial down trend was the measured voltage response to increasing the light intensity of an LED; after which, we completely turned off the LED to which the voltage flattened. Subsequently, we completely turned on the LED to full power and saw the voltage response go to a constant drop. Lastly, we slowly decreased the power and saw a final upward trend.</figcaption>

<p>After <span id="highlight">validating and demonstrating a proof of concept for our device</span>, the last step in our design process was to <span id="highlight">produce a production copy of our device on a printed circuit board (PCB)</span>. This would allow for high-throughput manufacturing as well as a more compact fit within the hardware chassis that we’ve also designed. Using KiCAD, we <span id="highlight">generated the manufacturing gerber files</span>, the files necessary to print this circuit board, and have ordered it. Unfortunately, due to the current supply chain issue, we have not yet had the opportunity to test the PCB.</p>

<p><u>A) Cardboard Prototype</u></p>
<p>To create a device with sufficient dimensions to house all the hardware, we set out to 3D print a hardware piece that would fulfill this goal. We began by fitting our circuit components in a simple cardboard model. This fitting is to <span id="highlight">test how we wanted the device to assemble so cardboard was used as a very cheap, accessible, and simple prototyping build</span>. Any material can be used for this intermediary step. Two cardboard prototypes were made of 10 cm and 13 cm cubes. Smaller details such as ports were drawn in for positioning. As the circuit components fit snugly within the 10cm cube, the CAD design proceeded with those dimensions. This is to ensure that the final design is simple and portable for field use in the future. Our cardboard model allowed us to define the design specifications for our 3D printed model, therefore our next step of prototyping was to make the CAD design.</p>
