  1. Toggle switch left

  2. Add Liberty Prime mp3 (switch back to right side)

  3. Upload sketch to Arduino UNO

I apologize for the audio quality. RobotShop also doesn’t do well with video, so I will have to increase volume later and record again. Don’t forget to use headphones with this post.

The LED Matrix i2c isn’t finished, but it’s definitely ready in time to liberate Hong Kong. :joy:
:disappointed_relieved: soooon :thinking:
