Desk Dock that gives information to the user. Made using a CYD.

Ship #1 Pending review

I made a tool that sits on your desk and gives useful information to the user such as the time or climate. It also can show a joke or a motivational quote. On top of that, if you connect it to Hackatime through its API you can get stats about your last 7 days coding. It was an overall quite challenging as I’m a rookie, but it has helped me to learn and improve my skills. I’m actually quite proud of how it turned out but I know it could have been better.

Finally finished my project!
I know it has small issues, but I believe that it is a solid hardware project.

Features:

  • Time
  • Current, tomorrow’s and in two days climate. (Including interior temperature and humidity with the DHT11).
  • Joke Screen
  • Quote Screen
  • Last 7 days coding info with hackatime’s API. (Most worked on project, most used language and total time.)

I spent too much time trying to solve an issue.

Everything worked well until I added a new API. Then, the most important API, the weather one, stopped working, I spent a lot of time tinkering with AI to try to optimize it. It turned out that renewing and changing the API key solved it 😢. But anyways, from errors, we learn. I also changed the potentiometer to change the screen with a joystick. I’m very close to finishing the code so I’ll leave the breakdown of what’s next below.

What’s next?

Polishing the overall looks.

Designing the case to fit the joystick.

Getting the joystick screen change to work consistently.

Making the UI more attractive.

3D modeling and advancements.

Some new advancements on the project, added a news screen to the dock (it works poorly) and started designing a case. The first prototype failed so new adjustments must be made.

First desk dock DevLog

This is the first DevLog about my desk dock posted in Stardance. I will explain what features it has as well as what i’ll be trying to do in the future. The project currently uses a potentiometer, a DHT11 and a CYD ESP32. I used a website called Lopaka to generate the more complex graphics. If you have any implementation ideas, please leave them in the comments, thanks.

Current features:

  • Main Page with hour and basic weather info.

  • More detailed weather page.

  • Basic 3-day forecast.

  • Page that has a random joke.

Future upgrades:

  • Custom 3D printed case.

  • Some more features.

  • General looks polishing.
