Deliverables for achieving Level 1
To accomplish Level 1, two parts have to be mastered: Firstly, soldering the triple adapter as described in the video and secondly, adding another line to our WOKWI repository with the link (URL) to your own WOKWI project, which should be as remarkable as possible. You add it by means of a Github commit on https://github.com/Carenuity/WOKWI. Both the photo and the copy of the added line (URL) from your own WOKWI repository should then be sent by email to team@carenuity.com.
