STARTING THE PROJECT
I’ve spent some time setting up the project and the hackathon environment, and looking for some pixel art to use. I went onto Piskel and found a really cool design (it actually looks a bit like me), so I decided to change the outfit to make it more my style; I think I’ll use it throughout the game’s development.
I went to see if it would actually work; I managed to mount the 3D parts on the board to test everything, and I made a few tweaks. I think I’ll go for a unique design—I’m thinking of making it all black; it’s going to look awesome.
Now for the best part: submitting the project! Everything is ready, and I’m happy to have finished it. It was a project that challenged me to the extreme; I had to learn a lot of new things along the way, which is why it took me quite a while to complete.
Writing the alarm clock firmware!
case closed! Only the firmware finalization is missing. Real talk, I had to spend a little time studying, the worst of all is knowing that I managed to learn the basics of 3D modeling in about 2 days, but I only learned because I dedicated myself, I can create several 3D models already, my goal is to build something really bigger, and take a little time to learn hardware construction, but each one at a time, it got kind of long hahaha, thank you to you who read.
I put all the parts together—I thought it was better that way so I wouldn’t have to figure out where to put screws, haha—but I think it’ll work; I’m almost done.
I’m really close to finishing; I studied hard, made the most of my free time at school, and managed to design something halfway decent (I think)—but there are still a few little things left to wrap it up.
Man, I almost couldn’t get this case study done—my computer kept freezing and I tried everything, but I only managed to finish the bottom part :(. I’m going to do the rest; anyone want to give me a hand? If so, hit me up on Slack. pls, i love u. I decided to start over from scratch; I was getting a lot of errors, so I decided to keep it simple.
Just finishing up the case—it looks a bit rough, so I’m thinking about redoing it.
I’m almost finished with the 3D model.
working on the case study for my project (Blare)
I’ve finished the complete PCB and fixed all the bugs I found; now I’m going to send it off.
Finished!
This one took a while, but I managed to finish the complete schematic. There are still a few bugs to fix, but not many—I’ll try to get to them today—but the project itself is already taking shape.
Trying to model the case (it’s proving very difficult).
What a beautiful PCB!
finished!!
I decided to remove the LEDs; I’m going to do it without them. Connecting the LEDs was proving too difficult, so I preferred to leave them out. The important thing is that it works. The PCB is already complete; now I just need to adjust a few things and transfer it to the case.
