Custom bedside clock
Make a clock with the type size and night brightness you prefer.

Make it useful to you
Make a clock with the type size and night brightness you prefer.
CAIBI’s proposed addition: Add touch targets that work half-asleep and test power loss and time resynchronisation.

Prompts to move it forward
Copy a prompt into your AI tool with the source material and your actual parts. Work through one small step at a time and check the output before using it. Choose an AI tool or practise the skills first.
Check the source before buying
Review the source material I supply for Custom bedside clock. Make a table of what is provided, missing, contradictory or dependent on a paid service. Identify exact hardware revisions, firmware files, library versions, CAD files and licences. Separate creator claims from your proposed additions. Do not fill gaps with guessed specifications. Finish with one small test that can resolve the biggest uncertainty before I buy parts. Sources: Random Nerd Tutorials: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-cyd-lvgl-digital-clock/
Plan the next step
I want to develop this idea: Custom bedside clock. Intended outcome: Make a clock with the type size and night brightness you prefer. The source is https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-cyd-lvgl-digital-clock/. CAIBI suggests: Add touch targets that work half-asleep and test power loss and time resynchronisation. First inspect the source I supply. Separate what it already does from proposed additions. Ask for my actual board, parts, skill level and missing files. Produce a small staged plan with one bench test per stage. Do not invent pin assignments, dimensions or completed test results.

Design a measured enclosure
Help me design a practical enclosure for Custom bedside clock. First ask for measured component dimensions, mounting holes, connectors, cable clearance, ventilation and operating conditions. Suggest a printable or off-the-shelf approach. Begin with a fit-test piece before a complete case. Label assumptions and do not invent an enclosure rating.

Check and document the result
Create a test log for Custom bedside clock. Intended outcome: Make a clock with the type size and night brightness you prefer. Separate expected behaviour from observed results. Include power restart, disconnected inputs, communication failure and the actual physical use. Ask me to provide results, firmware versions, changes, photos and unresolved problems. Never mark a test passed without my evidence. Sources: Random Nerd Tutorials: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-cyd-lvgl-digital-clock/
