-This is a research project:
-it's assumed you already have a skillset that includes:
-
-* Disassembling consumer electronics
-* Using a multimeter to perform continuity checks
-* Building electronics projects using a microcontroller
-* Soldering
-* Running the Arduino IDE *or* using `avrdude` to flash a firmware
