DeathWatch 2.0

  • Hassles

    • Circuit Playgrounds

      • I remember now how much of a hassle it is to upload code onto a circuit playground….

      • only works if you don’t mess up the drivers/bootloader, and then you have to press reset twice when the uploader is scanning the COM ports

    • OLED Display Adafruit vs Amazon

      • helpful Amazon review

    • Vibration Motor Button

    • Bitmap maker

      • en.radzio.dxp.pl LCD Assistant

      • couldn’t figure out what the height and width of the pixel array was, it wasn’t the height and width of the image, or the number of bytes per row/# of columns in the array

      • convertio.co/bmp-xbm issue with drawXBM

      • what the hell did I even do, I don’t know

        • logo maker

        • BMP maker

        • converter

        • u8g2 documentation drawXBMP

        • PROGMEM

  • 2.0 feels like an improvement overall, but aspects of the first I like better

    • graphics

    • fabric pattern

    • motor

    • r/l buttons

  • next

    • clean XBM

    • random randomSeed

    • adjust timer

    • see how the vibration feels

    • fix text “months” ex.

    • battery lilypad b/c I forgot how much I hate plugging/unplugging JSTM plugs

  • Slides outline

    • old one

    • circuit

    • bitmap / font

    • layout plan

      • no exposed wires

      • really tough to layer the highways

    • hoop

    • silicone coating

    • battery pack (upside down stich mad)

    • vibration motor stopped working, the transistor leg had broken off, but thought it had to do with the resistance of the long GND stitch, so took it out and when I realized it was the leg, decided to just throw a wire in there since it wasn’t going to show anyway, then cut the transistor legs and just soldered them to a new transistor, and b/c the legs were so close I dabbed some liquid electrical tape (it was 5am, i was so done)

    • then sewing the top two and bottom two, then them together

      • simple stitch

      • invisible ladder stitch

    • 730am

    • desk

      • whole spool of thread
