... 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](https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256802212716692.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.5.35961802DB6WcT&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt&_randl_shipto=US)
### Inputs
* Potentiometer (Rotary Encoder)
* ~~Switch~~
* ~~Button~~
## Microcontroller Considerations
* AtTiny85 (small, cheap)
* [ESP-01S](https://www.amazon.com/UMLIFE-ESP8266-ESP-01S-Transceiver-Arduino/dp/B093H28TGH/ref=sr_1_4?crid=UDTZTH0X3ITX&keywords=esp+01s&qid=1677812354&sprefix=esp+01s%2Caps%2C227&sr=8-4)
* [micro:bit](https://microbit.org/) 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)
