Kronos -- an ESP32 Powered watch

it will have an IR transmitter so it should be able to control other projects i make, an IMU so it can do rough step tracking and and the unit I'm using has a magnetometer so it could also be used as a compass, and finally the most important part of the watch the clock it is able to do up to 100ths of a second which would be useful for a stopwatch and keep the time really accurately.

HexConnects- hexagonal connecting led lamps

A modular hexagon LED lamp system with magnets to conect to the wall that use pogo-pin connectors to deliver power and data between tiles, allowing them to snap together into expandable, cable-free light arrays with thousands of possible configurations that will look really cool. I'm going to try to make 8 of them.

Hacker Card - NFC Business card

This is a simple PCB project. It includes an NFC tag section and a small indicator LED that lights up when the tag is properly scanned. It should work with any modern phone that has an NFC reader. Hopefully it should be the same size as a business card.

Giving A Robot Arm An AI

This is going to be my first big project ever besides a kit or anything like that. I am going to try and make a robot arm but I need to figure out a few things before I build him like how large should it be desk sized or big enough to reach all over. How many degrees of freedom the arm should have. and lastly if i should give the arm a camera so it could use media pipe or something to track movements and to know what its picking up.
