 ## Input Devices
 
-> The second half of the Fab Academy programme is designed to build on the previous weeks. You will be synthesising information and implementing skills that you were introduced to in the first half of the programme and encouraged to integrate these into your final project proposal.
-* Measure the analog levels and digital signals in an input device (group project)
+Group assignment:
+* Probe an input device's analog levels and digital signals
+Individual assignment:
 * Measure something: add a sensor to a microcontroller board that you have designed and read it.

 ## FAQ
 
 ### Is the satsha kit/fabduino I fabricated considered a valid board for this assignment?
-> Answer:
-1. Fabricating an unmodified board is considered as electronics production but does not count towards any design skill.
-2. If you changed the original satsha kit/fabduino, it is a valid board.
+> Answer: Fabricating an unmodified board is considered as electronics production. It doesn't count towards any design skill. You must make some significant changes to the original satsha kit/fabduino, for the board to be considered *your own design*
