Well, change of plans… Had to change the layout of the PCB a little bit…
(Actually, i had to lengthen it and play with the placement of the components a little bit. Changed the location of Max30102 and the button)
🥀
Finally designed the PCB, now I have to figure out the 3D model and submit for funding. More stuff soon
Got my schematic back(with little changes, had to rebuild it from scratch)… Have to redesign the PCB again to avoid problems when tracing…
Made the schematic, assigned footprints, and partly made the pcb(ended up corrupting the schematic when shutting down the pc
)
Made the case
Made the UPS(TOOK TOO LONG, AND ACCIDENTALLY TRIED TO OVER-ENGINEER IT)… The final result is below. You can watch this timelapse to see what i was doing before switching to the current design: https://lapse.hackclub.com/timelapse/Mhi8F60c0BRf
Assembled the thing, debugged stuff, added a flashlight mode, and added a way to exit AP mode from the device itself.
You can watch the video showcase of the station here:

Made the 3d model of the case for the thing(for some reason lapse didnt see my hackatime project and deducted frickin 20 minutes wth)
Finally, after going through this stuff with Gemini, I finally got the final code working, and ready for commercial use! P.S. the settings are in the highlighted zone, pls don’t change other settings(only if you don’t know what you’re doing)
Soldered the touch sensor’s pins to the board, also soldered on a connector cable to the battery
