+A WPP device consists of a base, reaction module and reactor driver (Figure 1).
+The base houses the photon source and cooling fan.
+The reaction module is comprised of a reflective reaction chamber and rigid vessel holder.
+A digital driver board, analog driver board or simple circuit integrating a commercial light emitting diode (LED) driver can be fitted to the base to drive the reactor.
+Each component is highly versatile, and apparatus assembly is fully modular (Figure 1B).
+
+Through variation of each component, one can quickly produce bespoke WPP devices to meet specific research needs.
+Configurational variations are easily documented for later reproduction.
+Detailed below are instructions for configuration and documentation of each component in a WPP apparatus.

+These LED star boards are commercially available or can be easily fabricated (see fabrication guide).
+The range of wavelengths provided by a LED star depends upon the emission profile of the mounted LEDs.
+Through variation of the LED star integrated into a base (Figure 2B), the user can control the wavelengths of light delivered by the photon source to a reaction vessel.

+A single reaction module can offer multiple layouts for reaction vessel placement.

+This configuration exposes one vessel to maximum light intensity.
+Second, the multiple reaction configuration, where multiple vessels are placed in a circle around the photon source (Figure 3D).
+This configuration exposes each vessel to less light relative to the single reaction configuration but provides equivalent exposure to each vessel.
+Through variation of the reaction module, the user can configure the reaction vessel type, size and placement within a WPP apparatus.

The analog driver circuit is meant to be as simple as possible while still allowing for reproducible LED intensity control.
To this end, the number of components has been minimized as much as possible.
A full schematic of the analog circuit appears at the end of this section.
A bill of materials appears within the README of the online repository.
+Through use of the analog driver board, one can control WPP device light intensity.
+This control is achieved through adjustment of the board-mounted potentiometer.
+No software is required, and multiple WPP reactors can be connected in series to a single power source (Figure 6A).
+However, fan speed isn’t adjustable and is maintained at maximum.
+Relative light intensity can be determined using the analog driver board test points and a multimeter (Figure 6B-D).
+The measured voltage can then be converted to relative light intensity using the values in Table 3.
+These values are derived from the manufacturer’s datasheet for the analog board’s LED driver.
+See the fabrication guide for more details.

+\section{Operation}
+
+Once a WPP apparatus is configured with the desired photon source, reaction module and reactor driver, it can be used to drive photoreactions.
+
+TODO: FIGURE 8 FROM OPERATION GUIDE
+
+To conduct a photoreaction using a WPP device, an assembled apparatus should be placed on a lab stir plate, to provide reaction mixture stirring, and reaction vessels should be inserted into the apparatus in the desired layout (Figure 8).
+The 130 by 130 mm footprint of the WPP architecture is compatible with typical stir plates.
+A standard 12 V power supply can then be plugged into the reactor driver to turn on the device and start reaction.
+A single 12V 2 A power supply is sufficient to drive 2 WPP devices simultaneously.
+A switch can be installed between the WPP apparatus and power supply to provide power switching.
+
+Reaction and photon source cooling is provided by the computer fan integrated into the base.
+Additional cooling can be achieved through placement of fans above the WPP apparatus or by placing a WPP device on a stir plate within in a refrigerator or cold room.
+
+Once finished, the WPP apparatus can be switched off by simply unplugging it and disassembled for storage.

+\section{Documentation}
+
+Users should report the following for each photon source used:
+
+ (1) Max emission wavelength for LEDs.
+ (2) Manufacturer and part number for LEDs.
+ (3) Supplier and part number for LED star (if commercial).
+
+This information enables precise reproduction of WPP photon sources. Characterization of a photon source’s emission profile using a spectrometer is recommended but not required for reproduction. Emission profiles for commercial LEDs are supplied in part datasheets provided by manufacturers. A list of WPP-compatible LED stars exhibiting emission profiles across the visible range is provided in the project repository.
+
+Users should provide and report the following for each module used:
+
+ (1) Original CAD designs for both module parts.
+ (2) 3D-printable models for both module parts.
+ (3) Photos of each reaction vessel placement configuration.
+ (4) Manufacturer and part number for reaction vessel.
+
+These provisions enable precise reproduction of reaction modules. Documenting the height a vessel is held above the photon source is recommended but not required for reaction module reproduction. All reaction modules provided in the project repository hold vessels a standardized 7 mm above the photon source.
+
+Users should report the following when an analog driver board is used:
+
+ (1) Measured test point voltage.
+ (2) Relative intensity at which LEDs are driven (0 to 100%).
+
+These provisions enable precise reproduction of reaction conditions for transformations carried out using WPP devices fitted with analog driver boards.
+
+Users should provide and document the following when a digital driver board is used:

+ (3) Relative fan speed (0 to 100%).

+\section{Safety}
+
+WPP reactors utilize high-intensity light emitting diodes (LED) that can cause eye damage if proper safety precautions are not observed.
+Light-filtering safety glasses should be worn whenever a WPP apparatus photon source is powered.
+Care must be taken to use safety glasses protective against the specific emission wavelengths of the photon source.
