Goal: Working with a mechanical engineer, design a LED matrix alarm clock that can be set and repeat every day to improve skills in 3D printing, electrical design, and Arduino code | ||
Challenge: 3D printing such a large housing broken into many parts was somewhat difficult due to printer failures. Designing electrical system to work via a soldered breadboard | ||
Success: System worked fully in approximately a one to two month timeline. Made four units and deployed them into people's homes for over a year without any issues. Possibility to add wireless code uploading and a PCB in future revision |
