So the next challenge I’ve been considering is a cuckoo clock. And while the internet makes sourcing the clockwork much easier, it’s not going to wind the clock. I think expecting the receiver to put more than a battery into a gift is expecting a bit much these days. And if I want to trigger a servo-based cuckoo, better to keep everything digital, perhaps with an ironic analog display.
In any event, the physical clock build is the least of my concerns. I’m not overly fussed by the programming either. It’s been a while since I played with C++, but logic doesn’t change. And I did write all that regex last month. Calculating resistors, on the other hand, I remember very little of. Going to need a serious refresher in circuit diagrams too.
First things first, I need to be able to find shit. Including the Arduino IDE.
