TimeCraft 004-1
By
The TimeCraft allows for an intuitive, accurate, safe, and fully enclosed custom timer that any user will be able to use and understand. This timer allows the user to control the adjustable timer via a rotary encoder and the press of a button, and can be set anywhere between 00:00:01 to 99:59:59. This system will notify the user when the alluded time has completed with a max offset of one second off every minute with an audible speaker at 440 Hz +/- 1 Hz. Additionally, this timer allows the user to pause and play the timer at any given moment, as well as reset the timer to 00:00:00. Last but not least, this system has three different brightness levels that can be switched to allow for the proper brightness to be chosen for the user. The main accomplishment from creating TimeCraft is learning new software such as Fusion360 for 3D modeling the enclosure, and KiCad for creating the 7-segment display PCB. With this said, because it was a learning process, something to work on in any future project is anticipating the time it will take to learn new software, and to improve the time management going into it.
