Devlog3:
Updates:
Relay module has been added and wired properly to work with pin D4 for input.
Control flow logic works with an added button connected to ground and input pullup pin D3.

Features to work out:
Include ultrasonic sensor module (HC-SR04) to make sure that the cup is detected and is in range
3D print a casing for the entire system to work together
Get rid of the breadboard and solder everything together

Devs note:
UGHGGHGH IM SO TIRED it’s been so long this project could easily be done within a day WHY IS IT TAKING ME THIS LONG I hate school and I hate tuition and I hate that I don’t have 28 hours a day and just a measly 24. Everything has been a mess and balancing school life with projects is going to be a mess. I hope the weekend saves me and that I get through this project before flavourtown ends.

Devlog 2:
Not much happened today, but I’m trying to have simple steps to make sure everything is working. I am working with water so I have to be extra careful. Tried to use a hairdryer to shrink the electrical tape to make it watertight but it doesn’t seem to have worked too well. The relay is connected with a 12V battery pack to the water pump. Everything has to be tested to make sure it’s working.

Devlog1: (I think that’s how you write these things ?)
Okay so I’ve finally got vsc working to upload arduino code to an arduino board (I’m using the arduino nano here). I spent over an hour doing this and now that everything is finally set up I can relax for a tiny bit before getting back to work. I know the devlog says 16 minutes of work but that’s because I was using the wrong folder to upload the code and it was a massive pain but I’ve finally gotten the correct folder set up with hackatime so everything works. Hooray to me

I’m working on this automated water pump, so whenever I wanna refill my glass of water I just press a button and it comes to me
