I wanted to make a R2D2 clock & timer cause I didn't have a timer in my kitchen (for my pasta) and I wanted an original timer, so I said to myself : R2D2 !!

It displays the time wich is connected to wifi.

Behind you'll find a rotary button to set the timer.

Push the button to set the timer, hold it 3 seconds to interrupt a countdown.

SIMPLE AND EFFICIENT !

3D Printing

I printed every part with PLA, infill 20%, layer 0.2mm.

You need to use some support especially for the bottom of the body.

Assembly

You can use super glue to assemble every part.

Check the video if you have some doubt.

Painting

For the head you can use a "metal grey spray paint" that you can find in every DIY shop.

For the rest check in the components list above.

Solder Display's Pins

Solder Pull Up Resistor

The rotary coder needs a pull up resistor in order to detect when you push the embedded button.

The resistor should be solder between the 3.3v and the N°27 input

Solder the Speaker

Connect two wires (male-male) to the connector et put it inside the model.

Normally you don't need to glue it, try just to push it.

Wago Terminals

Connect the Wago terminals to the connector, one for the +5v (red) and one for de ground (black).

Connect 4 red wires (male-female) and 4 black wires (male-female), these will be used to supply every module/component

Put the Coder
