Devlog #7 :displeased:
Since I had to redo the PCB I also had to redo the enclosure
At first I tried to make changes to the one I had made this but it didnt go well and I decided to make the top section again.Since the left portion of the lid will be removed completely I think I will add a way to join the bottom and middle section in there since I also had to remove one of the snap fit thingies which could decrease the fit strength.
Lets see what i do

Soooo my dumahh didnt think of the fact that the signal will not move until the ground are common
Which is exactly the issue in my previous pcb and i have literally redid my pcb 2 times…
well i made it such that u have a different power source for running servo and it is to be connected on top
at the bottom right there are 3 pair of 3 pins which are connected to the servo and then it works
i hope i dont run into something anymore………

I did the CAD and the potentiometer FINALLY FITS PROPERLY
I am kinda proud of how the CAD model turned out and I really like the look however I am not sure if the fitting and everything will work or not cuz its my first time having something 3d printed soo we will see :p: However the model is really bland soo I will add some decorations to this project which means there will be one more devlog for CAD which is not what I was expecting but meh, here goes nothing

Devlog #1
I am currently working on a project which is like an automatic file deleter
I am making it because for devices that have very little storage often times they may have folders that are filled up with windows tmeporary stuff which are not that important.
What it will do is that it will go through all of those directories and delete every single component inside of them.
For now I tried to make a file management system because this project will store its information and path in a .json file

I redid the PCB :cryign: it was hell
The last time I did the PCB it didnt go well when making the case because the potentiometer didnt fit into it.
Now I am redoing the PCB and I made it a bit bigger, if i am right
Also I changed the positioning of display and arduino and almost everything.
Last time I was thinking of adding a rocker switch but now I think I will add a slider switch, for some reason I really wanna use that idk why.
Also in the image dont mind the white box its the screen I just couldnt find a colored one.
The worst part wwas getting things right in this model each time I cant find a good model I did find a nano model but it was x3d and kicad doesnt support it…….
Also i made the PCB purple I really like this colour

Devlog #3 :
I am gonna have a crashout now
I finished the PCB and now I need to make the enclosure for the pcb and its killing me.
I have never really made an enclosure for anything I used to do the simple cad and now when I did make an enclosure I am just getting overwhelmed……
Well I did figure out something and my PCB is now assembled.
I literally spend hours on getting the CAD model right ToT

Okayyyy soo devlog #2
last time I did a small amount of PCB and I didnt do traces back then atleast not all of it
Today when I did that then I realised that Its a bit difficult to connect the SCL and SDA to the analog pins of arduino.
So what I did is I added two copper pads or holes whatever it is called and I made it like a bridge
When I will solder it I can use a wire to jump the connection.
As for features I have only added one which is sweep mode which means if u turn it on then it will go left and right like a car wiper.
While writing this I realised I can use the other button as reset hmmmmmmm good idea imma do that, by clicking on reset the servo will go to its initial position.
Also as for screen I chose to go with the long 0.91 inch screen, I think they look really good.
I actually added a lot of copper holes since 2 of them are for battery, 2 for a main switch and 2 for SDA connection.
And yea I forgot to mention about the potentiometer I actually added more 3 pads for joining it to the PCB I am not going to solder it as It might be fixed in the box but we will see.
I just remembered that I forgot to add the signal pins for servo soo yea I am gonna add that too.
See ya next time

soo i am working on a servo tester
it is basically a device that can control servo motors and acts as a way to check if a servo motor works or not(as the name suggests)
I have only made the raw pcb it still needs work to be done soo i am gonna work on it

Ship Pending review

I made a 2D physics engine which I named as Basic2DP (Basic 2 dimensional physics). It was made in C++ and uses SFML library for drawing the graphics.
As for me he most challenging part was learning the actual math and physics to apply in the program. other than this the difficult part was keeping a track of code I often forget what I am supposed to do at what places :P.
I am really proud of the fact that it is maybe the first project I have ever made that is this big I even had really fun in making it specially the theme feature was the most fun to work it for some reason, definitely enjoyed it and definitely learned a lot.
If you are going to use this project then u can get it from the release section of my github repo but make sure to have 64bit windows and do not remove any of the dll files.
Well thats all hope ya like this project :D

IT IS FINALLY DONE AAAAAGHHHHHHHH
I AM READY TO SHIP THE PROJECT
before that lets see what else I did all this time.
I made the readme and made minor changes to the code to improve the program like adding a ‘help’ command to get quick help
Also to get a proper guide on how things work I added a readme.html in folder of executable so the terminal doesnt feel very cluttered

I am thinking of making the soldering stand to have flexible legs or arms whatever those holder thingies are called.
To make them flexible I will add a detent mechanism which will allow rotation in a single axis.
Actually no all this effort was in waste because I will implement something else…uhh I will explain when I have made that thing soo cya

I have been soldering for quite a while and one thing is that I have never really had a proper soldering stand so I am going to make one
I had an old one and it was terrible it was one of those spring ones so it could not hold it that well
Currently I am using a metal piece with a small hole and the whole soldering stand is held alone by that hole soo I am not gonna use it for too long cuz sometimes the metal would get extremely hot after using it for really long
Right now I have added a reference geometry for sodlering iron, a basic plate and a small assembly which I forgot to record but it was small soo meh
I still have to add some pockets for holding cleaning thingies like those metal brush and for sponge too
Also I need to make it rigid

sooooo i did a lot of things
i completed the input method by taking information by getline() and parsing it and storing each infomation in a vector then it is decided what should be done by checking what is in vector at 0 index
i also finished the option for themes and i also added some premade theme to have something to work it and u can even add you own themes.
uhhhhh what else did i do….
yes decoration
the terminal by default has white text and quickly it starts looking terrible and messy so what i did was i gave the text some colour now it is a bit more cleaner to navigate between different portions in terminal.
i am gonna work on making the app capable of being exported and also add some small things here n there also yea the readme as well

Hmmmmmmmmmmm I did a lot of work today
and my code looks very messy now and I am not even sure if it is messy or if it is supposed to look like this :crying:
Well today I completed the CLI for my physics engine and even added themes so u can customize can look.
Damn I thought I did a lot of work and now I cant even remember a single thing that I did :pepe-hmm:
Well I do know what I will be doing now
I will add a way to save the theme in device at a specific folder this way if u make any theme and close the theme u will still be able to access the previously made theme and u wont have to make it again
After that I will give it finishing touches and then README and then make a static version of this app then import then ship 🚢
