⏲ ES Timer

Powered ⚡ by Digispark ATtiny85 and it works based on 🍅 pomodoro time management technique a special timer for all those that work a lot with computer and have difficulty managing time. Features of ES Timer in compare to existing softwares:

• forcing to follow the simple law of this technique
• it is simple and cheap to make less than 10$
• it can store in memory awake and sleep time and count of pomodoros and show them

How it works

As mentioned, this timer works according to the Pomodoro technique, which you can refer to this link for more information about the technique. it works in such a way that when the user connects it to the port of her/his computer, it starts countdown according to the time specified by the user, and the user should to do his task during that time. when counter reach to zero, it using the HID protocol goes the computer to sleep mode and it starts counting again for user rest. From this moment, it is not possible to use the computer by user and it cannot wake up the computer until the counting is over.

Requirements

• Arduino IDE
• Digispark ATtiny85
• For monitor version (Optional)
  • Female and male pin header standard
  • LED
  • PCB 10x10 pin
  • Soldering iron and wire
  • SSD1306 I2C OLED
  • Wire

Assemble monitor version

Step 1	Step 2	Step 3

Step 4	Step 5	Step 6

1. Cut your PCB into square shape (10x10 holes) with cutter.
2. Break female pin header into two pins 2 and 4 and put them on pcb like top photo then soldering them legs.
3. The same work do on male pin header with the difference that, you have to break it into 3 and 6 pins, look to related picture.
4. In this step putting digispark attiny85 on male pin headers and soldering their top legs related to 5V, GND, P0, P1, P2.
5. According to the picture of the fifth step, do wiring and solder on the back of pcb.
6. In the end, put OLED and LED on pin headers, in this moment your ES Timer is ready for next step.

If this is the first time you have used Digispark ATtiny85 in Arduino IDE, you need to follow these steps to see click here please.

Upload code

After opening the file EsTimer.ino in Arduino IDE In order to be able to upload the code on the device, you must add the zip files in the lib folder to IDE To do this, follow the path:

Arduino IDE Toolbar -> Sketch -> Include Library -> Add .ZIP Library...

If you have assembled the monitor version, you need to change the value of INCLUDE_OLED to true. Now to upload the code in ES Timer click on the arrow button or use shortcut Ctrl + U. Wait for the code to be compiled. After you see the Please plug in the device ... message. Connect the device to the computer. After a maximum of 5 seconds, the code will be uploaded. Congratulations 🎉 , your ES Timer is ready to use.

Configurations

You can customize the awake and sleep system. All you have to do is change the definition values of AWAKE_TIME and SLEEP_TIME also, if you want you can change the brightness OLED by changing BRIGHTNESS_OLED defines in range of 0..1 and if you have connected your ES Timer to right side of computer should change FLIP_CONTENT to true and you can also change the value of BE_SAVE_TIMER_STATUS to false in order to disable timer mode saving (sleep & rest).

Note 📝 : According to the code, the maximum definition time for AWAKE_TIME is 99 minutes and for SLEEP_TIME is a quarter AWAKE_TIME.
