My Final Project

Clock with a Pomodoro timer and weather

The idea of this project is to have a clock with different functionalities so that you can better organize yourself with the Pomodoro Technique. The concept is that with a button, you can switch between clock function and the technique, and possibly also connect an interface that allows you to do so from a device. It would also feature a screen displaying the room's climate and, through an API, be able to view the weather of the city you are in.

For now, the idea of putting 1 motor for each number segment would give me a total of 42 motors for the clock, so I believe there must be a way to design a mechanical number that can be moved with just one motor.

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Francesco Cirillo in the late 1980s. It involves breaking work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks. The technique aims to improve productivity by promoting focus and reducing the impact of distractions. Named after the Italian word for 'tomato' (pomodoro) due to the use of a tomato-shaped kitchen timer by Cirillo during his university years, the Pomodoro Technique has gained popularity as a simple yet effective approach to managing time and tasks.

One of the ideas that I'm liking a lot is being able to design something like what can be seen in the following link:
