Blare (ViniClock)—an alarm clock to wake me up so I don't miss the bus.
Ship #1
Pending review
Throughout the development of this project, I had the opportunity to dive deep into various 3D modeling concepts and practical techniques. I gained hands-on experience with Fusion 360, particularly in mastering key workflows like sketching, extrusions, and secondary modeling features. Beyond the mechanical side, I also took the time to refine my skills in KiCad, polishing advanced features that I hadn’t fully mastered before. Looking ahead to future iterations, I aim to move away from relying heavily on labels and focus on cleaner, direct wiring connections to achieve a much more polished and organized overall setup.
Now for the best part: submitting the project! Everything is ready, and I’m happy to have finished it. It was a project that challenged me to the extreme; I had to learn a lot of new things along the way, which is why it took me quite a while to complete.
Writing the alarm clock firmware!
case closed! Only the firmware finalization is missing. Real talk, I had to spend a little time studying, the worst of all is knowing that I managed to learn the basics of 3D modeling in about 2 days, but I only learned because I dedicated myself, I can create several 3D models already, my goal is to build something really bigger, and take a little time to learn hardware construction, but each one at a time, it got kind of long hahaha, thank you to you who read.
I put all the parts together—I thought it was better that way so I wouldn’t have to figure out where to put screws, haha—but I think it’ll work; I’m almost done.
I’m really close to finishing; I studied hard, made the most of my free time at school, and managed to design something halfway decent (I think)—but there are still a few little things left to wrap it up.
Man, I almost couldn’t get this case study done—my computer kept freezing and I tried everything, but I only managed to finish the bottom part :(. I’m going to do the rest; anyone want to give me a hand? If so, hit me up on Slack. pls, i love u. I decided to start over from scratch; I was getting a lot of errors, so I decided to keep it simple.
Just finishing up the case—it looks a bit rough, so I’m thinking about redoing it.
I’m almost finished with the 3D model.
working on the case study for my project (Blare)
I’ve finished the complete PCB and fixed all the bugs I found; now I’m going to send it off.
This one took a while, but I managed to finish the complete schematic. There are still a few bugs to fix, but not many—I’ll try to get to them today—but the project itself is already taking shape.
