Success!

As we hooked the bandage up to a power supply and flipped the switch, we were met with 90 shining LEDs - in other words: success!  The hookup and then lit-up matrix is shown below in figures 8.5 and 8.6.

Figure 8.6 - Lit-up LEDs at 1.7 volts

The matrix works as well as expected!  When folded, all of the LEDs stay lit as shown in figure 8.7 below.

Figure 8.7 - When bent, the matrix still works

This step marks a major success on our project.  While we have a wearable setup, powering the LEDs is still a concern as this test was run using a large, variable DC power supply.  In the coming days we will test multiple batteries to make the device truly portable.  

We look forward to future successes!
