Made a lot of progress today on my Internet of Things Christmas ornament. I started on the code for the Arduino Uno, but electronically, I am done. The two 16×2 LCDs, 20×4 LCD, time, ESP8266, and LM1678 are all connected.
I may build a longer cable and I still need to get the plastic front plate so they can hang.
I can begin to code now. One thing I may need is more current, the LCD seem dim.
Tomorrow I think I will build the front plates so I will be 100% done with hardware.
I may add an IR sensor as well. I think a way to control the unit is needed.
I also made progress on the software, I got it reading time and displaying n the LM1678.
Just doing pushups and situps.
Also a slight note on when I do pushups and situps, if I don’t post anything else, assume I just did pushups and situps.
