 Overall, we manage to find all the parts we need to assemble up to 5 REV D, for Mouser it comes up to be around 79.56 and for Digikey, it comes up to around 81.45. Also, we sent Dr. Kuh our Ron Ho fund.

 =====March 5th, 2020=====
+We spent the time today updating our new REV D with the electrolytic capacitor, our initial plan was to find a surface-mount version of it, but since the dimensions of it will exceed the space we have left, and we would want to minimize the size of the PCB, which is the goal of Team Guava. Therefore, we choose to have the breadboard type of it, which has two pins we can solder to. In order to find the perfect header for this electrolytic capacitor, we would need to find it's schematic online, where we found it from Adafruit. Also, since the breadboard version of the electrolytic is much higher, this might affect the size of housing and so. Therefore, we took the inspired from Team Apple, where we can bend the capacitor down towards the center of the PCB and it will decrease the overall height of the housing.
+Overall, we manage to finish up the REV D design with the electrolytic capacitor. Our goal is to have Dr. Kuh sign our form before Spring Break, once we get back from the break, we can start soldering the parts and hopefully deploy this semester.
