The Challenge:
An analog clock that can also read dollar exchange read using API calls
What I Did:
1. Connect ESP32 to WiFi and familiarize myself with it 2. Learn how to use a servo motor with the ESP32 3. Learn what APIs are and how to make API calls 4. Learn how to use API calls and the servo motor together 5. Decide on what API to use 6. Choose the exchange rate APIs and import urandom to select 6 different countries exchange rates 7. Design the clock and the exchange rates outline in Onshape 8. Laser cut the clock and exchange rates outlines 9. Laser cut a box for it 10. Assemble the clock
Learnings and Improvements:
I learned what API calls are and how to implement it. For an improved version of this project, I would add an OLED screen that displays the exchange rate depending on how the arrows move. I would also add another motor to control 2 arrows instead of only 1.
