How to assemble the pomodoro timer box:

In this page I describe how to put together your pomodoro timer, the only things that you will need to assemble it are:

1) Get one die cut paper box template or make one yourself using the files inside the cut_files folder. the box parts

2) Attach the double sided tape on the edge of the external box as shown in the picture. prepare the outer box

3) Close the outer box. close the box close the box close the box close the box

4) Prepare the inner box with double sided tape as shown in the picture. close the box

5) Fold and close the inner box. fold the inner box fold the inner box fold the inner box

6) Prepare the electronic components:

Prepare the electronic components

7) Attach two pieces of double sided tape to the Grove ChainableLED. Prepare the led

8) Insert the ChainableLED inside the inner box and secure it with the tape.

Attach the led ⚠ Make sure you connect the Grove cable to connector labelled IN

9) Prepare the Grove potentiometer with a small piece of doublesided tape. prepare the potentiometer

10) Attach the potentiometer to the inner box making the connector pass trough the hole. attach the potentiometer

11) Prepare the Grove pushbutton with a small piece of doublesided tape. prepare the pushbutton

12) Attach the pushbutton to the inner box making the connector pass trough the hole. attach the pushbutton

13) Prepare the servo motor with a small piece of doublesided tape. prepare the servo motor

14) Attach the servomotor to the inner box making the cable pass trough the opening. attach the servo motor

15) Insert the Grove buzzer in the last free slot making sure that the connector points toward the inner side of the box. attach the buzzer

16) Attach the remaining Grove cables to the components attached to the box. connect the cables

17) Insert the Seeeduino Lotus board into its housing making sure that the USB port faces the opening. insert the board

18) Attach the cables following the table below.

Component Goes to
Pushbutton D2
Potentiometer A0
Buzzer D3
Chainable led D4
Servo motor D6

connect the cables

19) Try to organize the cables inside and carefully close the box. Use a piece of tape to secure it. close the inner box

20) Gently insert the inner box inside the outer box making sure the holes for the usb connector are on the same side. insert the inner box inside the outer box insert the inner box inside the outer box

21) Cut a piece of semitranslucent material (e.g. a piece of translucent drawing paper, or a piece of plastic from the packaging of your Grove components) and attach it to the box to cover the hole and diffuse the light of the led.

add some translucent material to diffuse the light add some translucent material to diffuse the light add some translucent material to diffuse the light add some translucent material to diffuse the light

22) Now you can just close the box and start writing some code for it. close the box
