SleepWise

A clock that counts down until your bedtime, reminding you of the little time left.

What's this?

This is a simple project of mine where I plugged a MAX7219 to an ESP8266 NodeMCU that has MicroPython on it. The main.py file should be edited to customize the counter to your needs. I have implemented aiorepl into the library for debugging. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. The script uses Central European Time.

How to use

1. Buy the necessary hardware.
2. Flash MicroPython onto your ESP8266.
3. Install mpremote for REPL access and file operations.
4. Clone my repository, edit main.py and transfer the python files with mpremote cp main.py :
5. Modify boot.py to include import main.
6. Connect the ESP8266 to your network, then assemble everything to observe it in action.
