Pomodoro timer for the Arduino Uno. Built using the SparkFun RedBoard as part of a Shutterstock CodeRage.
The Pomodoro Technique is a method of time management developed by Francesco Cirillo. Part of the technique uses a timer to divide the time spent on a task to intervals of 25 minutes (called pomodoros) separated by pauses of 5 minutes. This technique can be effective in today's world of software development, as it recognizes the frequent interruptions and has long periods of focused flow.
This sketch, when combined with the hardware layout defined in the schema, will create a pomodoro timer. Features include:
- five LED lights that will show progress of the current pomodoro (5 minutes apiece)
- a sixth LED light to show when the rest period should be honored
- friendly buzzer to alert when each stage of the interval is complete
- an acknowledge button to proceed from pomodoro -> rest -> pomodoro, etc
- configurable options for tone, interval lengths, and rest lengths
