thought of this project a long time ago

i wanted to build an open source chess clock

then I thought, why make the chess clock also work as a rubiks cube timer?

thats when this idea popped in my head

going to make this basic and cheap, so a 4 point project

start off w schematic

added xiao from https://hackpad.hackclub.com/resources

going to be making the following thing:

changing MCU to ESP32C3 bc i can create web app for chess clock!

using low-profile switches to potentially make this folding

finished schematic

assigned footprints

looked at 0.96” OLED on my desk and realized two numbers would be too small on that

was thinking about 2 OLEDs but the Xiao has 1 i2c bus only

guess we are switching to Pi Pico

choc v2 switches have same travel distance but 4mm lower height than gateron

did some research; choosing kalih PG1350

time to route

ez routing

had them flipped; had to route again

added 3d models!

ok im not going to make it round so its easier to CAD

mounting holes took forever for some reason but I got it!

created logo

tried to add texture but it didn’t end up working

ok i just realized the way i envisioned it is completely wrong

i think i’ll switch this to a cubing timer cause this is the proper thing for that
