Final Project: Programmable Timer

Design

Combining the designs for the button boards and LED components of other boards from previous weeks, I was able to design the timer's board fairly easily.


I usually like to design compact boards, but I moved some of the components farther away to give the device better ergonomics. I moved the button far away from the rest of the electrical components and headers. I also moved the LEDs farther away and above the button so the user can watch the cycles change as they push the button

I measured the board so that I could build a 3D printed shell to contain all the timer components.


Not my best print I have ever made, but all of our nice printers are in use by students and other outside projects. It's a little rough, but I really don't have the ability or time to remake it and will have to make the best of it.


I installed a 5mm female port to power the board inside, and a standard power cord plug (3-prong: female) that any plug you would find powering a printer, desktop, and other desktop appliances.
