First version will be a 3x3 lockable phone charger to test the hardware before scaling up to selling kits and other edge stuff.


===== Summary =====

(Describe why the project was undertaken, what problem you wanted to solve, which target group this might suit and what the product might be used for. as well as any other details you think important)

===== Materials =====

(List the materials you used, with dimensions, and quantities. This is often easier to do once the project is at the beta testing stage, but that means you will need to keep a list as you go. It is useful to collect the details of suppliers, quantities, prices and websites in an Excel sheet as an aid to those who follow you - you can upload the Excel table at the end of this document in the space provided)

===== Tools =====

(List all the tools you used to complete the project, eg: from #1 Philips screwdrivers, to the CNC machine)

===== Instructions =====

(This is where you put the step-by-step photos showing how to carry out your project, as well as an explanation in words. Rename the steps as you like, use italics or bold for emphasis. \\ 

Don't forget to include design files for CNC, laser cutting or 3D printing but remember they need to be zipped before uploading to the Wiki ( it is also useful if they are in a transferable format, .svg rather than .ai, for example ).
