+===== Conclusions =====
+<note tip>
+In conclusion, the Sweet Sort project utilizing Arduino and a color sensor presents an engaging and technically-oriented endeavor for beginners. Through the integration of various components and programming techniques, this project offers practical insights into electronics, automation, and sensor calibration. The process of researching, acquiring components, designing the box, assembling the system, and working on the code contributes to a comprehensive understanding of hardware integration, precision engineering, and coding practices.
-===== Concluzii =====
+Throughout the project, the challenges of calibrating the TCS230 color sensor became evident due to its high sensitivity to changes in light conditions. This aspect provided valuable hands-on experience in troubleshooting, sensor optimization, and the importance of environmental factors on sensor accuracy. Overcoming these challenges required technical knowledge, perseverance, and experimentation to achieve the desired functionality and reliable color detection.

 ===== Download =====
-<note warning>
-O arhivă (sau mai multe dacă este cazul) cu fişierele obţinute în urma realizării proiectului: surse, scheme, etc. Un fişier README, un ChangeLog, un script de compilare şi copiere automată pe uC crează întotdeauna o impresie bună ;-).
-Fişierele se încarcă pe wiki folosind facilitatea **Add Images or other files**. Namespace-ul în care se încarcă fişierele este de tipul **:pm:prj20??:c?** sau **:pm:prj20??:c?:nume_student** (dacă este cazul). **Exemplu:** Dumitru Alin, 331CC -> **:pm:prj2009:cc:dumitru_alin**.

+.04.2023 : Decided on Sweet Sort as my project (since I was intrigued by the idea of working with a color sensor).
+.05.2023 : I ordered the components for the project.
+.05.2023 : The components arrived and I started working on the box design, as it needed precise circular cuts for the candies to pass through.
+.05.2023 : Started assembling the components.
+.05.2023 : Worked on the code and attempted to calibrate the sensor. Discovered that anticipating the outcome of the TCS230 sensor was challenging due to its sensitivity to changes in light. :-\
+.05.2023 : Finally finished the project
