I've been told I can't submit a Gemini (YSWS) project to SoM, so I'll just use this as a way to track time and then I'll delete it. 😭

I've added all the necessary text inputs and buttons, now I'll just have to code them so they work as intended. Also I would like to change the style/theme of the UI

I added a way to select the courier, and also added a .env, so I can upload it to github

This is my first android app (and first time using Kotlin, luckily it's similar to java).
I will be doing a shipment tracker app, as the one I'm currently using (AfterShip) doesn't support all the shipping providers I need (mainly Ecoscooting).
After quite a bit of API hunting i found Ship24, a good-enough shipment tracking api. It offers 10 shipments per month, which I hope is enough.
Then, I did a simple python script to test the API.
Next, I started the android project. I spent more than the time wakatime logged, bc I forgot to install the wakatime extension :sob:.
This is what I've got so far

I finished the PCB. I had to change/rewire a few components, but it should be finished! Now time to do the case

I started placing the components for the PCB. I started with the Powerbank IC

Today I started with searching an IC that I could use for the powerbank. I wanted a USB PD cabable one, but they were quite a bit harder to use, more expensive, and needed multiple cells, so I ended up with a 1S 5V/3A powerbank. it will be enough to fast charge a phone. And I will also be able to use the voltage to power the led easily, as it is always on.
I went with the ATtiny202, BQ25895 and AL8860MP ICs.
I finished the schematic with all the components. Hope it works

The design is fully finished (i think). Now I'll do all the highway files and will submit it!. Want to build it!

I finished all the mechanical design (still have to add the endstops). now I'll just have to add the controller and a few extra parts

The design is mostly finished. I only need to add the belt clamps and a way to secure them to the aluminum extrusions

I added the belt tensioning and idler support to the X axis, I also rotated 180º the pulleys, as it wasn't necessary to have them so high

I added the X motor support. Now all motors have the supports needed (Y axis needs mirroring though)

I replaced the Linear rails for cheaper ones, as the ones I was using before were from JLCMC, they were cheap, but shipping was too high (120€) so I just went with aliexpress ones. I searched for the exact ones I was using but they were like 36€ each, so it was too expensive. I finally found MGN9C, they are 1/3 the price and they still seem good enough. I had to redesign them but it wasn't too much work.
I also added a custom belt tensioning system. It was hard to find a way how to do it easily, but I ended up with a simple screw tensioning system

Designed the motor holders and added color to the model to distinguish the different parts

I designed the support for the Y belt idler. It will screw into the 2040 center holes with M5 screws and the idler will be held by another M5 screw with a T-nut. hope this works and is strong enough

finished the base structure and all the motors. Prob will go with 2x Y motors as I won't be using the E (extruder) motor so I can use it for the 2nd Y motor
I also noticed the hackatime time seems to not be the real one, as if it updated after a while.

I've got the base structure done. now I'll need to find a way to route all the belts, as this seems to be one of the hardest parts. I'm not sure if I should do single or double Y motors, Y seems to be better, but it may desync, so I'll have to think about it. I'll prob go with 1 single motor though.

Starting the project!
First, I searched for a laser I could use, and I found this one https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005003306807390.html, LT-80W-AA-PRO 24v. A 24V 10W diode laser. It seems to be a good option for the project, and if it doesn't work/fit, I'll replace it with another.
Now I had the laser, and wanted to be able to drive it wirelessly and I came across FluidNC, and then with the BIGTREETECH Rodent. It seems to be a good fit for the project, as it's a cnc controller, so kinda what I need.
I also thought of the optimal size for the laser, and I ended up with an X size of 500mm, then I searched for linear rails of that size, and ended up at jlcmc. There they've got customizable linear rails, and I went with the BMW9C-1-L500-Z1-C-E20 for 17.61$.
For the rails, I didn't want to be importing and searching for cad models, so I decided to just design it myself, a rough model, but funcional.

Got everything ready for the Highway submission!

I finished all the code of the lamp (prob not final).

Finished the project. I added all the remaining holes and fixed some parts of the design

I added a THT C13 connector to directly connect it instead of using wires, as it will be stronger. https://hc-cdn.hel1.your-objectstorage.com/s/v3/26763671e8e0c86786f73a046992cbaca5e20471_screenshot_2025-06-16_22.04.57.png
Then, I finished the general case, and now I'm adding snap clips as I don't want to use screws, and if I do, I want to use as few as possible.

Previous PCB footprint was too big, as it was using a dedicated isolated AC-DC PSU. I switched to a PCB mount 20W one. Will prob be enough to power the LEDs

This is the first devlog I'm posting. This is a desk lamp I started before SoM started. Today I have designed the top lamp part, it also has holders for the PCB
