This week I worked on the PCB for the word clock. I made a library to make my components and soon made a schematic. The PCB did not require a lot of items because there are simply only four components that are being used for word clock. I also need to connect the power supply directly to the PCB.

1. ESP32 Board

2. Super Capacitor 1000uF

3. Resistor

4. Three-Header

I felt satisfied with it but I haven't made a board just yet because, I decided to switch my plans to making my Mom a gift for her birthday. Her birthday is on a Monday which is a bit annoying because I wanted to 3D print my items for her. I want to try to mix it up but I think I will have at least something printed before Friday. My Mom likes chemistry so I decided to make something chemistry themed. I didn't want to do something simple with a card and I know she doesn't like when I spend money on her. I wanted to make her a 4.4" Erlenmeyer flask through 3D printing. I plan to ask Mr. L if my model will work and is printable. Then, I've made elements that are the numbers of her birthday. I will plan to put these little atoms into the flash and which she has to pour out! I plan to create little notes to hide in. The atoms are the date of her birthday. I believe that after I give her gift, the following weeks I could try to make each of those elements into aluminum.
