 Basically, LEDs are just tiny light bulbs that fit easily into an electrical circuit. But unlike incandescent bulbs, they don't have filaments that burn out, they use less electricity, and they don't get especially hot. They're illuminated solely by the movement of electrons in a semiconductor material, and they last just as long as a standard transistor. The life span of an LED surpasses the short life of an incandescent bulb by thousands of hours. Because of these advantages, tiny LEDs are one of the most popular technologies used to light LCD TVs.

-=====PROJECT 7=====
+=====4-Digit 7-Segment LED Timer=====
 ====DESCRIPTION====
+This circuit uses the 4 digit LED display and the clock coding feature to serve as an active counter that begins at 0 and counts up to 9999. This timer is different because I have added a button that when pressed will halt the counting at the current number. Then, when the button is pressed again, the counting will resume at the same number, until the button is pressed again the process will repeat.

-=====PROJECT 8=====
+=====Thrust Vector Control (TVC) Mount=====
 ====DESCRIPTION====
+In this project, I used the Adafruit Gy-521 and two Servos. These electronics were used for the goal of making sure that a model rocket is properly orientated during its flight and guaranteeing a nominal trajectory for it.
-====DEMONSTRATION====
+The GY-521 is an accelerometer/gyroscope that will detect a change in the orientation of the craft as it is flying and will send a signal to the Arduino that the orientation of the craft is off. This will then send a signal to the servos that the orientation is off and needs to be fixed. Determining how much of a correction needs to be made is determined by a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID). A device that will automatically apply an accurate and responsive correction to a control function. This basically determines how fast/ intensely the servo responds to an error in the orientation of the device.
