 ## Log
 
 ### Week 5 - 11 May
+Gathered all the necessary components and set up the development environment 
+(Rust + Embassy). Started with the basic hardware setup: connected the laser 
+module and LDR to the breadboard and verified the ADC readings. Implemented 
+the software baseline calibration for the LDR.
+

 ### Week 12 - 18 May
+Integrated the SSD1306 OLED display over I2C and the RC522 RFID module over 
+SPI. Implemented the access control logic: admin card recognition, grace 
+period, and wrong attempt counter. Connected the buzzer via PWM.
+

 ### Week 19 - 25 May
+Finalized and tested all components together. Assembled everything into a box 
+for the presentation. The laser beam, alarm, RFID access control, and OLED 
+display all work correctly together.
