An alarm clock with a TFT 2.25 inch screen and dial to act as not just a alarm clock, but also as a timer, stopwatch and pomodoro focus timer
nice work, approved! i actually really like this!!!.
Hey! This looks really cool! I love the exploded view you made and the renders. I'm returning this because you're missing a .step of your assembly, and it looks like you don't have any mounting for your display. Please add some concrete mounting for the display, it shouldn't be held in by hopes and prayers! Also you need to upload a .step of your assembly with all the components in it so we can see how everything will fit together, and so others can work off your repo easier! Thanks!
PS: I accidentally sent this back as a build, idk if you saw that but just disregard that.
Hey this looks really cool! I love the renders and how you included a knob. Do just want to note, that's not included in the kit so assuming you're sourcing that yourself. Before I can approve this, I just need you to write some firmware for your clock. This doesn't have to be perfect, just enough to start testing when you get it assembled. Thanks!
I used Onshape to design the CAD, splitting the casing into 2 pieces, top and bottom, all connected by nuts and bolts, and keycaps for the switches and a knob for the rotary encoder, and a small hole for the USB-C port
Imported some models for my PCB and TFT display into Onshape (took me 30 minutes because Onshape was being buggy and annoying and my computer lagged for 2 minutes every time I did anything 😭😭)
Designed the PCB for my custom alarm clock, Daylight. Placed components, routed traces, filled a ground pour and exported STEP and GERBER for later use
Designed the schematic for my alarm clock, Daylight. Including a rotary encoder dial; TFT screen and a XIAO ESP-32 C3
