Digital alarm clock from the BLARE challenge
Waiting on a reviewer. We'll let you know as soon as there's a decision.
Finished the code a long time ago; I forgot to devlog it. I DO NOT know what I did. I got a lot of help from people, Google, and courses, so do not ask me. As long as I didn’t use AI, it’s fine ig. That time lapse only worked twice a week, so I didn’t bother to record because I wanted to get it done already, since I had been procrastinating due to schoolwork. I did run into a bunch of problems and did use AI twice to fix it (NOT CODING PROBLEMS) i tried to uplaod it once but it turns out I had to install this one thing, etc etc.
Just finished working on the case, although I believe I ran into a problem that I’m supposed to fix, but I really don’t want to redo the PCB for the 6th time. The pin headers stick out of the case. I thought I could just ignore it, but it wouldn’t make sense. Im not sure what to do. I think my only option is to redo the pcb
Almost done with the case. I am not 100% sure if the dimensions are correct, infact I think I’m doing this all wrong, but I guess it’s all part of the learning process. Like I said in my last devlog, I’m trying to make the case TV-inspired. I’m not sure how the antennas will print, but let’s just trust the process. I might change the color palette later on too, but for now it’s set like this.
I just realized it has been a very long time since I last wrote a devlog. I have been working on my other projects and redesigned the CAD twice. My initial plan was to create a simple digital clock, but I realized it’d be way too boring, so I decided to go with an antique TV model as inspiration. I am having some trouble with the CAD dimensions and symmetry, so I’m holding off for now. If it ever becomes a problem, then honestly I don’t even care anymore.
Redesigned the PCB for the 1000th time (I’m not even joking; I redesigned it 6 times and it still looks bad) because I messed up the layout. Found the keycaps and the XIAO ESP32 C3 (I haven’t added it yet). And started with the case (not shown). I can now rest
Spent forever trying to find the .step model for the keycaps and failed miserably. Went on a break, so I paused the lapse came back, and I forgot to unpause it. How much worse can this day really get.
Just finished the PCB for my digital clock. I redesigned it completely. It took me forever to make the wires look neat. Now i need to export my files and start with the CAD.
