Devlog #11
I made wrote the whole code for it again…..but it was worth it and it looks way more cleaner now and I even understand what I did.
Also last time the animations were added in a single script as of the main code which made the code extremely messy and long so I shifted everything to a header file and then I referenced it in the main script.
The code is very good now n I am glad it could get this good ToT

Devlog #10
Say Hi to this guy, he has eyes
I finally finished the program for arduino and I am gonna finish it up and then we might be good to go,
I am gonna ship this project soon.
Lets talk about the code now
I added a welcome animation its this eye I am not really sure if it works cuz it uhh I dont have a display.
I added 3 modes in it
First is manual as the name suggests u move the servo on ur own using the pot
Second is sweep in this the servo gets pusle between 1ms to 2ms and sweeps from lower to maximum position and vice versa
Third is calibration, I added this because sometimes maybe u decide to use another pot instead of B10K then you can calibrate the new pot by using this
Thats all for now

I wrote the code and even tho the concept were really simple for some reason I cant process any information going in my mind
But in the end I did it
Its not finished but I kinda have a concept ready
I will explain more in the next devlog

Devlog #7…i guess i forgot
Soo I finished the CAD model and I am kinda happy with the results
There are 3 components top lid, middle case and bottom lid I did not do much at the bottom lid but in the top lid a bit of the section is raised because it has the arduino beneath it sooo I added the name “servo tester” on it so that u know its a servo tester….yea…..
I also added binary signal intrusions yknow in the image,
In the middle section I covered the top part and had the botto section hollow because thats where u put the lid at and middle section has some intrusions that I just made wwithout thinking much :p:
Also the design I made helps in opening the case soo its also kinda helpful aside from making it look a bit better

Devlog #7 :displeased:
Since I had to redo the PCB I also had to redo the enclosure
At first I tried to make changes to the one I had made this but it didnt go well and I decided to make the top section again.Since the left portion of the lid will be removed completely I think I will add a way to join the bottom and middle section in there since I also had to remove one of the snap fit thingies which could decrease the fit strength.
Lets see what i do

Soooo my dumahh didnt think of the fact that the signal will not move until the ground are common
Which is exactly the issue in my previous pcb and i have literally redid my pcb 2 times…
well i made it such that u have a different power source for running servo and it is to be connected on top
at the bottom right there are 3 pair of 3 pins which are connected to the servo and then it works
i hope i dont run into something anymore………

Devlog #5
I did the CAD and the potentiometer FINALLY FITS PROPERLY
I am kinda proud of how the CAD model turned out and I really like the look however I am not sure if the fitting and everything will work or not cuz its my first time having something 3d printed soo we will see :p: However the model is really bland soo I will add some decorations to this project which means there will be one more devlog for CAD which is not what I was expecting but meh, here goes nothing

Devlog #1
I am currently working on a project which is like an automatic file deleter
I am making it because for devices that have very little storage often times they may have folders that are filled up with windows tmeporary stuff which are not that important.
What it will do is that it will go through all of those directories and delete every single component inside of them.
For now I tried to make a file management system because this project will store its information and path in a .json file

I redid the PCB :cryign: it was hell
The last time I did the PCB it didnt go well when making the case because the potentiometer didnt fit into it.
Now I am redoing the PCB and I made it a bit bigger, if i am right
Also I changed the positioning of display and arduino and almost everything.
Last time I was thinking of adding a rocker switch but now I think I will add a slider switch, for some reason I really wanna use that idk why.
Also in the image dont mind the white box its the screen I just couldnt find a colored one.
The worst part wwas getting things right in this model each time I cant find a good model I did find a nano model but it was x3d and kicad doesnt support it…….
Also i made the PCB purple I really like this colour

Devlog #3 :
I am gonna have a crashout now
I finished the PCB and now I need to make the enclosure for the pcb and its killing me.
I have never really made an enclosure for anything I used to do the simple cad and now when I did make an enclosure I am just getting overwhelmed……
Well I did figure out something and my PCB is now assembled.
I literally spend hours on getting the CAD model right ToT

Okayyyy soo devlog #2
last time I did a small amount of PCB and I didnt do traces back then atleast not all of it
Today when I did that then I realised that Its a bit difficult to connect the SCL and SDA to the analog pins of arduino.
So what I did is I added two copper pads or holes whatever it is called and I made it like a bridge
When I will solder it I can use a wire to jump the connection.
As for features I have only added one which is sweep mode which means if u turn it on then it will go left and right like a car wiper.
While writing this I realised I can use the other button as reset hmmmmmmm good idea imma do that, by clicking on reset the servo will go to its initial position.
Also as for screen I chose to go with the long 0.91 inch screen, I think they look really good.
I actually added a lot of copper holes since 2 of them are for battery, 2 for a main switch and 2 for SDA connection.
And yea I forgot to mention about the potentiometer I actually added more 3 pads for joining it to the PCB I am not going to solder it as It might be fixed in the box but we will see.
I just remembered that I forgot to add the signal pins for servo soo yea I am gonna add that too.
See ya next time

soo i am working on a servo tester
it is basically a device that can control servo motors and acts as a way to check if a servo motor works or not(as the name suggests)
I have only made the raw pcb it still needs work to be done soo i am gonna work on it

Ship

I made a 2D physics engine which I named as Basic2DP (Basic 2 dimensional physics). It was made in C++ and uses SFML library for drawing the graphics.
As for me he most challenging part was learning the actual math and physics to apply in the program. other than this the difficult part was keeping a track of code I often forget what I am supposed to do at what places :P.
I am really proud of the fact that it is maybe the first project I have ever made that is this big I even had really fun in making it specially the theme feature was the most fun to work it for some reason, definitely enjoyed it and definitely learned a lot.
If you are going to use this project then u can get it from the release section of my github repo but make sure to have 64bit windows and do not remove any of the dll files.
Well thats all hope ya like this project :D

IT IS FINALLY DONE AAAAAGHHHHHHHH
I AM READY TO SHIP THE PROJECT
before that lets see what else I did all this time.
I made the readme and made minor changes to the code to improve the program like adding a ‘help’ command to get quick help
Also to get a proper guide on how things work I added a readme.html in folder of executable so the terminal doesnt feel very cluttered
