This fork adds an additional Night Time feature to the Every Day Calendar.
Having mounted this in my bedroom, I found that once I'd lit up a number of the days it became very bright. This was regardless of the brightness of the calendar.
I resorted to turning the calendar on and off (via brightness) each night, but found myself not turning it back on in the morning. As the calendar was to serve as a visual reminder, this was not acceptable.
My solution was the night timer! It allows you to turn off the display for X number of hours, after which it will automatically turn back on.
The timer only allows a resolution of hours, and officially has a +-10% accuracy, though I have in practice found my device more accurate than this.
Hold Dec 31st for 5 seconds to activate the timer selection mode. Using the January column, select the number of hours you would like your display to sleep for. Press Dec 31st once more to confirm your selection.
Waiting for your desired time to see the display turn back on, or tap anywhere to re-enable the display.
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
-
Configure the board type to Arduino Pro or Pro Mini
-
Configure the processor and clock speed to Atmega328P (3.3V, 8MHz)
-
-
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!
