• Didn’t get to work on the Cat Feeder Unreminder but there are lots of interest and ideas in our slack channel!
  
  
  • TheStumbler
    
    
    • Found a 12hr egg timer. Defeats the purpose of building and learning a new embedded skill.
    
    
    
    
  
  
  • Eric McFall
    
    
    • E-Ink for the persistent display.
    
    
    • This is a great idea. I will look through my parts bins for a e-ink. Might have one.

• Snap dome buttons
  
  
  • Interesting requirements for footprints. Not sure how to do it.
