## Hardware v1.1

The first hardware setup was without stabilization. After presenting it I got the advice to add extra components for stabilization.

I still used the same components from v1 but added two capacitors.

The resulting voltage remained between 1 and 2V.

## Hardware v1.2

To make this project reproducable for others I decided to get some new components from our local electronics store.

New components:
- Bridge Rectifier, B250D DIP4
- Voltage Regulator, TS2950CZ-3.3
- Capacitor, 1µF

The B250D was in a DIP4 form factor, which results in a very clean breadbord design.

The new components also had a positive effect on the measured voltage. Instead of the the value between 1 and 2V it now produces results between 2 and 3V.

## Wemos Software v1.0
