... first off: we've got to come up with a better name. That's a must.

But... anyway.

Objective

make a programmable circuit board that could be soldered together in one workshop session and programmed in another

Hardware

Outputs

• LEDs (RGB)
• Buzzer
• LCD
• LED Matrix

Inputs

• Potentiometer (Rotary Encoder)
• Switch
• Button

Microcontroller Considerations

• AtTiny85 (small, cheap)
• ESP-01S
• micro:bit https://www.sparkfun.com/products/17287

Activities

• LED Matrix Word Clock -> https://learn.adafruit.com/neomatrix-8x8-word-clock/overview

Other Ideas

• Removable Matrix Cover (Clock Letters)
• Could program WLED software
• Buzzer (could make the clock an Alarm Clock)
• Potentiometer would let us turn things up or down (but that's expensive since the ESP-01S doesn't have an analog input, gross)
