• Single board PCB
• Connect screen horizontally to pcb
• It has three buttons!
  • Up, Down, Confirm
• Custom designed case that is 3d printed in three parts
• Easy assembly with secure wiring
• It has custom made firmware that let's you set an alarm and set the current time

Journal

Day 1

• Started the project! Wrote out a plan in Obsidian and downlaoded the footprints off github.
• Imported the footprints into kicad
• Just finished my first version of pcb! Looks good. and getting this far took about an hour 26 mins. It has a vertical screen and three buttons on top. Time for modelling. Pray for me
• Lapse 1 Hour 26 Min of work

• WHOOOOO I built the entire v1 of the case design in one sitting
• It has been a very productive afternoon but we have deadlines
• Almost firmware time.
• The case is a three piece design meant to be 3d printed. I think it will work well i leanred from my mistakes and it is very chamfered and secure hopefully. Lapse 2 Hours of Work

DAY 2

• I built the firmware and learned how to program in arduino

• Conencted the components and began working in the IDE as well as TinkerCad

• Lapse 47 Minutes of work

• Added the ability to set the time on the clock

• Added the ability to set the alarm time too!

• [Lapse](https://lapse.hackclub.com/timelapse/48aM7OdNLg47 1 Hour of work

Full Hackatime Project Hackatime - Track your coding time 5 Hours 21 Mins of work total :)

Roadmap

• Add support for the buzzer to properly go off
• Add support for the display correctly once I get it for easier debug
• Add AM/PM support
• Make it look more pretty :)
