TOTAL TIME SPENT: 15.5

June 1st

I started this project!!! I regularly use my notes app and wanted to make it look better. Moreover, I also keep on catching myself on my phone when I'm supposed to be studying, which is why i need a proper study timer. Hence, why I created a pocket-sized timer and notes-storage device. I made it ORV (Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint) themed, because ORV is my favorite novel! Today, I just drafted two designs for the case, came up with the description for my project, and also the BOM.

Time Spent: 1.5h

I worked on the schematic with some of the components that I will need. I probably will edit this in the future because I need to add other components or may have made some errors, so I need to double check. This took time since I had to watch new tutorials on LCD and understand the errors.

I started working on the CAD today I got a lot of the work done, mainly on the outer parts of the casing. This took a lot of time because I was trying to figure out how to make the stacked paper layers. I was using a reference image which is also below.

Time Spent: 5h

I finished the CAD! I also accounted for the total thickness/organization of the components that are supposed to go. That took some time as I had to find the thickness of all the ocmponents and how I would connect them physically. I also included the cutouts for the USB, the buzzer, and the switch. I also added the name Fourth Wall on the front. However, I'm worried that I won't be able to ppint it since there may be some floating parts.

Time Spent: 3.5h

I updated my schematic because in my CAD, I decided to remove the speaker and sound amplifier, to replace it with a simple small buzzer instead. I also added/updated the links and prices for the different BOM items.

Time Spent: 0.5h

I finished my python code for the project. All I did was design the UI for the timer, the functionaltiy for setting and runnign the timers, and then also trackign & displaying the notes, and finally animating a chibi version of Kim Dokja using an image from pinterest by Lizette Chavez (source: https://ca.pinterest.com/pin/68747554976/)
