Orientation-sensitive desktop timer (mark II). Codename "Otter" (because they're cute & cuddly, hard-working, and like to roll over).
Technical Specs
- Custom triangular PCB!
- Raytac nRF52840 Bluetooth Low Energy Module with USB - MDBT50Q-1MV2
- Programming header bonanza (some or all): SWD, Tag-Connect TC2050,
SOICbite, and USB. - Bluetooth app/backend for tracking tasks (allocate poms to projects etc.)
- LCD/OLED/Sharp memory display (TBD, prototype is Nokia 5110-type)
- Bosch BNO055 9-DoF orientation sensor/IMU

Questions
How big is the Pomodorov2 PCB?
It measures 112.2 × 43.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Pomodorov2 use?
26 parts, built around the MDBT50Q-1MV2 and TC2050-IDC-NL. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Pomodorov2 KiCad files?
From the twopoint718/pomodorov2 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/pomodorov2.kicad_pcb and its schematic hardware/pomodorov2.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Pomodorov2 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask twopoint718 before reusing the design.
