 A digital clock that is inspired by old nixie-tube clocks.  Each digit slot (4 digits) has 11 sheets of acrylic etched numbers 0-9 respectively, and a back sheet that is set to transparent or dark.
 The sheets each have 2 respective LEDs to diffuse light to display the correct combination of digits. This means 44 LEDS.

 The image above shows a design I would like to replicate (but hours + minutes only).

+Skills I have utilized during this process include:
 - PCB Design and Fabrication
 - Microcontroller programming
 - Basic 3D-printing & laser-cutting
 - Soldering
 
+# My experience getting started
+
+I needed to learn how to design a PCB. I watched some youtube tutorials and got assistance from some Peer Instructors at the Hive, the ECE MakerSpace. 
+
+To get some experience with laser cutting, I attended a laser cutting workshop at the HIVE. I designed and laser cut a wooden clock.

 # The Process
 
 To start, I decided that I figure out how to design my PCB. To do so, I learned how to create a PCB using Altium Designer with help from peer instructors at the HIVE.

 The PCB design should look similar to the product below:

-My PCB layout will not have Vias. I decided to do this because the PCB printers at the HIVE are limited in their ability to do that. I plan to use the HIVE printers to learn how the machines function, and to have a prototype to mess with before ordering the real things.

-Because the order made for my PCBs and LEDs will take a while to arrive, my progress is shifted to the design of my casing.
