The design was my teammate Abdulla responsiblity, click here to go to his page

Electronics:

In this project there is three electronic devices:

  • 1: lcd screen (output)

  • 2: stepper motor (output)

  • 3: button (input)

I already documented the code and schematics of the stepper motor and the button, you can go to the page by clicking here

lcd screen connections schematics:

lcd screen code:

#include <LiquidCrystal_I2C.h> 
LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27, 20, 4);
void setup()
{
lcd.init();
}
void loop()
{
lcd.backlight();
lcd.setCursor(0, 0);
lcd.print("Hi, this is our"); 
lcd.setCursor(0,1); 
lcd.print("Cryptic calender");
}

testing the screen:

Assembly

The first stpe I had to do is tp print the cryptic numbers on the ring.. I used the laser machine.

  • 1: upload the design to the machine.

  • 2: place a cardboard.

  • 3: start engraving the numbers on the cardboard.

  • 4: place the ring on the cardboard on the position of the printed numbers.

  • 5: print the numbers on the ring.

After printing the numbers its time to assemble!

After assembling:

It is time to put the electronic parts.

After organizing the Electronics:

Now everything is ready!
