troubleshooting
pcb didn’t work because of some mystery reason that I’m going to figure out later, but battery would only turn the backlight on, and the code wouldn’t turn the backlight on, even explicitly setting the pin to high.
- mysterious. ugh
- well anyway, I’m ordering another one because I also fixed a component so that it would be flush with the board
Software: fixed a bug about unit conversions, also took some pictures for the readme!
Also check out this e-ink thingy, I was gonna use it for this project but it didn’t fit the use case very well. Dunno what I’ll use it for in the future. Code credits to blurPP/ssd1681_epaper_driver_micropython !! for the demo
Somehow we’re starting at 52 hours, probably more since I fiddled with it for a really long time while trying to learn microelectronics..
Anyway, since I joined this pretty late with this project, honestly the software part is mostly finished. I spent the last month
- testing the sensor
- drafting out figma layouts
- making the page navigation architecture in circuitpython
- making pages
- making a whole ass CAD model for printing an enclosure
So this week I made some games!
They use two buttons, since the main page navigation and UI of the environment sensor uses two buttons.
It runs on a TFT LCD!!! But for ease of testing, I have a True/False flag in the code that runs it through pygame (adafruit_displayio_blinka library, I think) so I can simulate and test on the computer. Pretty neat
