SpookyJury

Inspiration

I was at HackUTA and I noticed that a lot of the first time judges found it hard to follow the 3 minute pitch/1 minute Q&A for judging. Sometimes its hard to say no and walk away

What it does

Its a hackathon badge timer that(in theory) would play spooky noises in order to "scare" the judges to their next table

How I built it

Hardware: Esp8266 PN532 I2C Display LED(in place of a speaker) NFC NTG215 tags

Software: VSCode with PlatformIO extension Arduino framework

Challenges we ran into

Getting the proper functions in order to get the NFC reading working nicely with the display code. Making the state machine, wiring it up, etc.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Getting a pretty good prototype. It exactly what I had in mind minus the speaker

What I learned

How to use the NFC reader with a microcontroller. Some Sveltekit(although I couldn't finish that part)

What's next for SpookyJury

Make a PCB Version that can have the parts soldered on
