Changes:
- VSCode setup - all you need is the Arduino extension, and do
Arduino: Upload
. The libraries will be copied automatically. - Simplified brightness button - pressing darken/brigthen will fully turn off/on the lights with one tap.
- Light wave effect when turning on a light - animates a wave of brightness across the columns.
- Starburst effect when turning on a light - animates lights around the one you touched, like fireworks.
This repository contains firmware and schematics of the Every Day Calendar project.
Please note that this is a finished project. The files are provided as is and we will not be maintaining this repository.
To download the firmware and schematic files, run the following command on your terminal:
git clone https://gitlab.com/simonegiertz/the-every-day-calendar.git
-
Power on the Every Day Calendar with a 5V adapter and connect the calendar to your computer using a USB Type-B to USB Typ-A cable.
-
Open the Arduino IDE
-
Copy the contents of this repository's firmware > libraries directory into your computer's Arduino libraries folder.
- Typically that's located in Documents/Arduino/libraries
Note: If more instruction is needed, follow Arduino's guide: https://www.arduino.cc/en/guide/libraries
To test and see if the custom libraries are working, you can run our sample code provided in the firmware > sketches directory of this Github repository. Simply upload one of the sample code files onto the calendar using the Arduino IDE, open the Serial Monitor and set the baud rate to 9600.
Once everything is working, you're ready to play with the Every Day Calendar! Have fun!
