time for The Great Reset

im starting over designs

i want to rival the industry standard cubing timer

browsing [link] for inspo + ideas

bro no way there is an AI speedcubing timer; this is wild

ok im thinking to use capacitve touch pad instead of switches to not make this a hackpad

watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTMsbL0eH_M to learn

that video wasn’t helpful; watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42jUcqwKIw8

that vid didn’t have much so watching this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWR9Q_pTagw

ok capacitve touch is very hard to implement in such a large area such as a palm

lots of chance for missed calls

did some research and a grand total of 0 people have made an open source cubing timer

soooo this is the first! thats kind of cool

okay i might use this type of design with infared/distance sensors on each side to determine

mx switches aren’t good bc they are designed for fingers, not hands

ok this is a hard project

wait i found [https://github.com/amadensor/cube-timer/tree/main/pcb/cube_timer]

ok mine is the first PCB + case; the project is just an ESP32 on a breadboard

going to read https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/40001946A.pdf

ok idk if this is possible even
