For integration phase 1 of 2, the objective was to combine all portions of the functional block diagram that were allocated to individual team members. A barebones PCB was ordered with the intention of being large for debugging purposes as well as segmented based on the blocks. Each part was tested individually first and then progressively tested two at a time until all parts were integrated and functioning as per the project requirements. The "Swordsmiths" board has passed integration phase 1 of the Omega Blade project. Schematics, images, and videos are shown below.
