 == Testing & Technical Challenges ==
 During the implementation of the smart cube, we encountered numerous testing and technical challenges.   These challenges ranged from the implementation of the 8x8 led matrix to the interfacing of the web server to the development board.

+====RGB LED matrix implementation====
 There were multiple issues encountered during the implementation of the LED matrix such as the use of shift registers, the output of a number or a character, and SPI communication.

-=== Web Server Multiple Commands Issue ===
+====Web Server Multiple Commands Issue ====
 During our implementation of the Web server we were encountering a very strange error.  This error occurred when two commands would be sent consecutively from the web server.  An example of this was:

	In this project, we have successfully finished our goals and tasks such as interfaces that allow the user to select the desirable functions of the cube: alarm setting, weather location, and RTC clock. We are able to perform these tasks and demo them precisely. Also, we added some more features to our Smart Cube such as email notification, moving the cube to turn off the alarm as it was planned to use a switch, as well as selecting different melody or ringtones for alarm sound.

		+	There were a number of problems encountered during the hardware implementation such as the use of shift registers, the output of a number or a character, and SPI communication. It took a while to figure what caused which problem, then we were able to have different approaches to solve the problem as discussed in the testing and technical challenges section.
		+
		+	This project have shown a large concept of how an Embedded System as well as all the interfaces between the CPU and I/0 devices. We were able to manage between software and hardware and understand the relationship between them such as using FreeRTOS to communicate and perform different tasks with different levels of priority.
