The Every Day Calendar

Overview

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.

Installation

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

Firmware

Connecting the Every Day Calendar to the Arduino IDE

1. 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.

2. 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)

     

Installing Arduino Libraries

1. 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!
