I wanted to put my engineering skills to the test by creating a programmable watch that can tell time and date, serve as a stopwatch, and play some simple games. The watch will be a custom printed circuit board that sits inside a custom 3D printed chassis.
The watch is controlled by an ATtiny84 and will be powered by a lithium-ion battery. The display will be an 8x8 LED matrix occluded by a mask that aids readability of up to 4 alphanumerical characters on the screen at a time.
In addition to basic time telling and stopwatch functionality, there are two games planned to be playable on the watch: snake, and 2 player connect 4.
