Objective: Build a a wireless custom general-purpose controller project

• The custom controller’s name is Bossy
• Build a custom controller with parts I already have at home

Preliminaries

• .List bill of materials
• .Install arduino
• .Install fritzing
• .Test if Arduino Micro is working
• .Make continuity tester with adafruit metro mini
• .Find out unique values of up, down and neutral for each joystick
• .Verify connectivity of switches, potentiometer, and momentary buttons
• .Finalize breadboard schematic, pcb design

Breadboard tests

• .Test 8x8 Led matrix on Arduino Micro
• .Check if the two arduino micro can communicate using nrf24l01
• .Test multiplexers with potentiometers

Soldered Protoboard test

• .Solder led matrix, potentiometers, joysticks
• .Solder buttons and resistors
• .Test connectivity and routes on stripboard
• .Solder switches
• .Test switches
• .Solder wires to connect multiplexer to components
• .Test multiplexers with components
• .Test wireless connection
• .Test led matrix

Coding and finishing up

• .Make a class wrapper for elegantly reading, processing, and accessing the input signals
• .Add UI functionality for providing feedback of controls in the 8x8 led matrix (screen)
• .Send commands by user from controller to receiver.
• .Brainstorm for prototype #2
• Buy parts for prototype #2
• Build prototype #2
• Design an enclosure to house Prototype #2 with Tinkercad
• Lasercut and assemble enclosure for prototype #2
