When we started lab, our breadboard Arduino did not upload the code from our computer. This issue was resolved by swapping out our microcontroller. After this, the Arduino accepted uploaded code but did not blink the LED. We attempted to identify the source of the issue by testing the connections across all components with a voltemeter. This yielded no results.
Asynchronously, we also started the KiCAD schematic for the Arduino Breadboard. We completed the schematic and started assigning components.
Next lab, we will continue to troubleshoot our physical breadboard Arduino, and start modeling the PCB in KiCAD.

Continued modeling the PCB in KiCAD. Assigned all footprints, created netclasses, and oriented PCB.
Had difficulties importing the footprint files into KiCAD. Was resolved when Blake provided an alternative method to upload the files.
