1/2 Hello everyone!
I've been working on a major #electronics project for some time now, and I've finally gotten around to announcing it here.
So basically I'm working on an alarm clock type desktop companion thingy that can sync time over NTP, display the weather, maybe have some side 'pods' to hold stuff, also have a few USB ports so that I can charge multiple devices at once with less clutter, and more.
I'm still in the parts choosing phase rn, but I'll post updates every few days.

I've decided to use an #esp32 C3, a 3.5" ST7796 LCD plus a keypad and alarm button for the interface, DS3231 RTC, BME280 for local weather sampling, among other stuff. I'll talk about the other stuff when I need to.
Obviously, this is a massive project for a relative newb like me, and I have a habit of being overly ambitious with my projects, so this might take a while or not even be completed. But I'll definitely learn a lot.
Right now I'm trying to figure out the audio system.
