Week 6 - Journal

I was inspired by a problem I face daily which is to keep checking my mobile phone. As I'm diagnosed with ADHD I find it hard to focus on tasks that I'm doing. And my mobile is really distracting me all time and reduces my attention span. I keep putting note everywhere to remember to focus and stop procrastinating but it's really overwhelming, So I decided to make a device to pot my phone on it and whenever I pick my phone up, it make this noise and shows messages to remind me of my work.

Then to know the serial number of your LCD you need to use some code and connect your LCD and Arduino to the laptop to know it and here's the code:

#include <Wire.h>

void setup() {

Serial.begin (9600);

// Leonardo: wait for serial port to connect

while (!Serial)

{

}

Serial.println ();

Serial.println ("I2C scanner. Scanning ...");

byte count = 0;

Wire.begin();

for (byte i = 8; i < 120; i++)

{

Wire.beginTransmission (i);

if (Wire.endTransmission () == 0)

{

Serial.print ("Found address: ");

Serial.print (i, DEC);

Serial.print (" (0x");

Serial.print (i, HEX);

Serial.println (")");

count++;

delay (1); // maybe unneeded?

} // end of good response

} // end of for loop

Serial.println ("Done.");

Serial.print ("Found ");

Serial.print (count, DEC);

Serial.println (" device(s).");

} // end of setup

void loop() {}

I'll use an LCD in my final project, that's why I didn't give it despite all the problems I've faced and I guess I'll be able to use it later without any problems.
