Goal: Develop a binary clock PCB to be controlled via encoders and shift registers. Develop firmware for STM32 microcontroller | ||
Challenge: Soldering issues due to design flaws in the PCB, errors in schematic regarding voltage regulator, not able to move further in firmware until more of board was working, encoders too large for system | ||
Success: Initial prototype showed flaws and what worked for next build spin |
Goal: Fix issues with previous version, create working firmware, create housing to hold board and LED diffuser sheet | ||
Challenge: lots of design complexity added to make system work better, firmware issues with setting the time at power on | ||
Success: Hardware is mostly all validated as working. Still writing firmware. Will then need to design case and complete project. This is an ongoing project |
