circuit diagram

time spend: 15 min

what i did: so i def needed 2 things, buttons to click and change who's turn it is and second i need a display to show how much time each person has, and then i also need a chip to manage it all! so i opened easyEDA then i opened the library, filtered for each type and added the first and added them! then i used simple logic and connected the wires.

routing pcb

time spend: 25 min

what i did: then i covered it into a PCB then i placed i put the parts where i wanted it to be, in the first attempt i put 3 wires traces in the bottom layer but then i realized that i don't even need a bottom layer and its possible to put it all in one layer so i spend some more time moving it in to 1 layer!

pcb

wrote the code for this to work!

time spend: 40 min

what i did: once i was done i decided to make the firmware so i started coding in python and made it but the issue is that im not sure if it will work as i cant realy test it out!
