+* 16x2 i2c LCD Screen
+* Spotify API Client ID and Client Secret
+
+### Installing On Arduino
+1. Clone the repository
+2. Open the Arduino IDE
+3. Install the LiquidCrystal_I2C library
+5. Open the `main.ino` file
+7. Upload the code to your Arduino Uno
+
+### Setting Up Spotify API
+1. Go to the [Spotify Developer Dashboard](https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/applications)
+2. Create a new application
