My 1st Version of EXCUSE CAT!
Glad that I have my first project as a beginner. The project is called as “Excuse Cat”.
It’s a tiny desk companion that explains why my project is still not done. It starts on a home screen, then a button press enters the main screen and generates a random excuse with a matching cat expression. If there’s no interaction for a while, it returns to the home screen. The enclosure is based on other project, where I only make some adjustments on it through 3D printing. The codes are written in Arduino IDE.
Right now it’s USB-powered and controlled by one button. I’d like to make it more interactive, maybe with sensors for gesture, tilt, shaking, or picking it up, so the cat can react with different moods but I still don’t know how to solder yet.
Do you have advice for this project? (I'm also collecting some funny reasons for procrastination) Maybe the cat will be a board pet or something like that.
Every suggestion is welcomed here ;)
