DevLog #4: Laying Everything Out!
Today, I worked more on laying out everything I wanted to have and finalizing my shopping list! Thank you to everyone who has been following my devlogs so far! I have basically no experience with electronics, so a lot of the components I’ve picked are based on AI suggestions and my own research. I’m definitely still figuring things out as I go.

Right now, I’m thinking about ordering the screen(if i can’t find a bigger one that fits my vision), microcontroller, and a few buttons for testing (and just to play around with!). I’ll also be watching tutorials on similar projects to learn more and get some inspiration before I commit to the rest of the parts.
