Klotz is a small wooden cube that prints informations on a LCD Color screen.
Thanks to two small invisible buttons hidded in the structure, you can switch between different mode such as :
- Time (Time & Date, Countdown, Stopwatch)
- Temperature (°C, °F)
- Rotation angles (X, Y, Z)
- Game
- Menu
In the menu, you have access to some parameters such as :
- Luminosity (8 Levels)
- Sound (On / Off)
- Screen rotation (On / Off)
- Languages (Français, English, Deutsch)
- Inverted colors (On / Off)
The cube is made of a 3D printed structure, packed in a wooden case.
Klotz is run by a Microchip PIC32 microcontroller, and carries a MPU-6050 gyroscope.
Softwares used to achieve the project :
- MPLAB/Vim (Code and compilation)
- Altium (Electrical schematics and PCB Design)
- Blender (3D)
- Illustrator/GIMP (all the pictures on klotz have been created by hand)
This project was made as a school project at 42 in a period of 6 months, from February 2017 to July 2017.
Grade : 130/100
Realized by :
