For the code, we are dependent on the Time class mostly because we wanna make sure that everything is done at a specific time. For this you are welcome to change the hour and minutes depending on what time you would want yours to turn on, mine is activated to turn on at 6:00 am.

The breadboard just consist of connecting the argon to the servo, while also making sure that the proper wires are matched together.

This part is pretty simple, and some of the supplies could be up to you.

We will Start with hot gluing a piece of cardboard onto the argon

From there we will hot glue another piece of cardboard onto the that but standing, to make sure it stays still we will glue a tooth pick to keep both pieces together.

From there we will continue with the actual concept of the touch screen for this project you are welcome to use different fruits to use, an orange peel and a banana peel work just fine. For this project I will be using a banana peel and to start this we will have different size banana peels to push the touch screen button.

To create a perfect height for my Argon I glued it onto a foundation bootle but you are welcome to either tape it onto something else.
