Inspiration
I have been using the Pomodoro study technique for years now! Usually in the form of a website or app, but having one on my desk was an idea too good to pass up.
What it does
It is a box that sits on your desk, with a display and a few buttons. You can set a 25 minute study timer, or either a 5 or 10 minute break timer. It enables you to keep track where your time goes.
How I built it
I 3D modeled the box in Fusion360 and printed it in PLA with an Ender 5 3D printer. While the box was printing I wired up the rest of the project and programmed the raspberry pi zero over wifi using PuTTY.
Challenges I ran into
Without soldering I didn't have enough time to find an alternative to connect everything in the housing like I originally planned.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I did something I have been thinking about for way too long!
What I learned
Hackathons are a good time.
What's next for Pomodoro Study Timer
Putting the electronics into the case, with soldering this time.
