A buddy that reminds you to get off your phone and actually code! It was a 2 day (weekend chalenge) I did to test and apply my knowledge. It was fun and painfull.
This needs changes before we can consider it shipped. Review the Shipwright feedback, make updates, then ship again.

Ship #1
Changes requested
I finally coded it and it works I still have to make some last minute changes and it will be ready to ship!!!
So I officialy finished the hardware.I added a PIR sensor and an Ultrasonic sound sensor.I mapped all the pins and made a list of the components I used Arduino Uno R3
16x2 LCD Display HD44780
10k potentiometer
PIR Motion Sensor HC-SR501
Ultrasonic Sensor HC-SR04
SG90 Micro Servo Motor
Passive Piezo Buzzer
breadboard
jumper wires
220 ohm resistor
1000 ohm resistor
external 5V power supply…
Now I think I am ready for the code (I am NOT READY for this emotional roller coaster)I tested all the components so if anything goes wrpng I ’ll be sure it is a software problem. Also the Assistant might look cheap and too low quality. But it is all I can currently afford. Maybe, maybe if stardance gives me a 3d Printer all my projects will be professional (just kidding(not rly)).See you in the next dev log.
Added the servo motor and the speaker!!
So I got the Lcd working!I am off to the other components now!!!
I am having a big trouble with coding. I took apart the assistant to do everything 1 by 1.
SO scraped the whole project and re started from scratch.I added an Lcd screen (didn’t have I2c). Added a tap sensor,a servo motor and a PIR sensor. Also I boversoldered the other speaker and now it doesn’t work so I used a smaller one with two capacitors to smooth out the sound and it is preety neat.Now to the coding!
So I completed the physical built.I didnt use an LCD cause I dont have I2c one but there will be voice and sound feedback from the companion.While I might change anything I can in the future.Next dev log will be me writing the code and finding out how to wire some parts I never used before.
I finished a big part of the cardboard mvp everything is cut out.Next devlog will feature a photo of the MVP
I added the basic components and decided I will make an MVP out of cardboard an I ll ship it that way.It will all run on an arduino uno.It is preety neat I ll post pictures from next devlog.Stay tuned!
So I started on the research of what to do and searched for what i had available.I’ll prob have to buy an i2c lcd screen cause mine is broken. I added a servo and an ultrasonic sensor to the hardware.I am also thinking of putting a tap module.I only have a buzzer i think for sound feedback
