Motivational Board, track something year round with RGB-leds and switches.

Motivational-Board

A year tracker on a single PCB. Each day gets an RGB LED and a 3-position switch; at the end of the day you set it to red, green or blue to record how it went. The board fills up as a color-coded map of your year.

What's on the board

  • One 3528 RGB LED and one SP3T switch per day, about 365 in all.
  • 4.7K resistors.
  • A 12-sheet schematic, one per month.
  • The motivational quote printed on the back.

Setting a day

Each LED is common-anode to VCC, and its R, G and B cathodes run to a 3-position switch. Flicking the switch grounds one color through 4.7K, so that day lights red, green or blue. Do it once a day and the board becomes your year. Switches, not a controller; the record survives a power cut with zero code.
