#3 devlog

Today I…

• tried to add timing for API requests, and I think it works but now my oled screen won’t display anything. There’s 50/50 chance it works tomorrow with exact same code :(.
• Finished 3D modelling by making a back plate for the case.
• Wrote something to the README

#7 devlog

Probably the last devlog for this project. CapyOS is now ready for shipping. Sorry for last devlog, I just wan’t to get these hours logged. The last feature I added was a timer. Its icon is, of course, caybara-themed.

#6 devlog, webOS 2

Some updates

• A new app: a gallery for viewing cute capybara photos
• Full screen button works now, it aligns the window perfectly every time now. (It required actually only 2 new lines in to script!)
• A new scrollbar in the app menu with a green theme. I added extra icons so that the scrollbar can be tested

#11 devlog

The final devlog, I guess. I fixed responsive issues and finished readme and now I’m about to ship this project. (Sorry for short devlog, I just wanted to this 1 hour to be counted.)

#10 devlog

It’s (almost) a ready project!

I fighted for over an hour to publish it in github pages. But it was worth it because it’s now liveee https://vilp357.github.io/speedMathTraining (pls test).

Before shipping I still need to fix some responsive issues and finish readme, but we’re almost there.

#2 devlog

Coding

Lot of time, no progress.
I spent quite a long time trying to make buttons on my board work with my code. I couldn’t make them work :) . Instead of buttons I might make text change with specific a frequence.

3D-modelling

I started making box case for simple electronics (the board and battery case). I used Tinkercad for modelling. I had used Tinkercad before but it’s been long time since I used it last time. I really liked that Tinkercad has ready models of electronics even though it didn’t have the ones I’m using. That’s why I had to use components as close as possible to my actual components.

#5 devlog

The final site (after webos 1). I’m going to ship it now!

#4 devlog

I think I’ve completed part 5 now. I still have to finish readme and deploy this and the ship. This will actually be my first ship!!
I’ve already planned things to do in WebOS 2 (and I actually started doing them). The new app I created in part 5 is link app because I often forget important websites and the app is a place to store links for those sites.

#3 devlog

Working on my WebOS. Today I completed part 3 which means that the welcome window is closeable and openable. I hope to finish WebOS 1 soon. Looking forward to make a new app next time :)

#2 devlog

Part 2 done.
I decided that my WebOS will be CapyOS so more of capybaras coming. I’m very happy with the navbar I made and I’ll update it later. I think it already looks really cool.

#1 devlog

Today I started making my own WebOS using the tutorial. There was nothing new to me but had fun with playing the elements. I don’t have any special plans for this project but hopefully I end making something (at least little bit) useful.

#9 devlog, days 10-12 (maybe?)

It’s been a while since last devlog, mostly because I haven’t had time to work with this, but also because hasn’t been any big updates.

But now it’s time for you…

to meet Calc, the mascot of the speedMath Training.
I still need to add Calc to the site. I’m also planning to make a buddy for them and together they will cheer you on.

#1 devlog, days 1-2

 
This project has now officially started. Git and github are set up and the core feature works! Currently the arduino (it’s actually Wemos, not arduino) is able to show current price.
 
I use free API to get spot electricity price (it’s price in Finland).

https://api.spot-hinta.fi/JustNow

The board I use is Lolin D1 mini Pro V2.0.0
 

My plan for this project:

• make the screen display current spot electricity price
• design and maybe build box/casing for electronics
• add leds to indicate how cheap or expensive electricity is now
• add buttons for scrolling future prices

#8 devlog, day 9

The UI is starting to look good and is much better than few days ago. Today I spent most of my time working on the main screen and a significant amount of it was used to do styles for the checkboxes.
 
I don’t know yet much time I want to use for this project, because it has already all the core features I have thought. I have been planning other new projects and I need time for those and I don’t have as much motivation as before for this project.
 

Anyways, things I will do before shipping:

-Make it more mobile friendly
-Finish styles for components
-Fix component placing

#7 devlog, day 8

 
Today I finally managed to create a color palette that works with both light and dark mode. This is only beginning of the UI upgrade so more coming later.
 

the most critical things to do next:

-move the timer (why is it even there???)
-scale content

#6 devlog day 7

 
Today I continued working by starting to design UI. The image shows color palettes I have thought. The upper is for light mode and lower is for dark mode. I still have to figure out contrast things. I thought I’d use the green for buttons with either white or black text, but I barely could see the white text so something has to be done? Maybe other color or shadows for text.

#5 devlog, days 5-7

 

New updates:

• choose number of questions
• number generating fixed
• Daily challenge page

How I fixed number generating

How I tried before

Math.floor(Math.random()*(Math.pow(10,digits[0]))*Math.pow(10, digits[1]-digits[0])) 

 

and

 

Math.floor((Math.random() * 10)*(Math.pow(10, digits[0]-1))*Math.pow(10, Math.ceil(Math.random() * digits[1]-digits[0])))

Where digits[0] is minimum number of digits and digits[1] is maximum number of digits
 

How it works now:

A function randomNumber gets number of decimals as paramater and the function is called

randomNumber(Math.round(Math.random() * (digits[1]-digits[0])) + digits[0])

Problems this fixes:

• Generating numbers with less digits that minimum
• generating different number of digits unequally (more digits was much more common)

Next thing to do:

• UI upgrade
