Water Drinking Tracker

grabcad

This program was designed as part of project #3 of Mark Rober's Creative Engineering class (https://monthly.com/mark-rober-engineering) to build something that either enforces a good habit or breaks a bad one. I am bad about drinking water while I work. I can get lost in code (including this project) and not drink water for hours. So for this project, I built a scale that tracks how much water I drink over an 8 hour period while I work. The tracker uses the LCD Display connected to an Arduino to show my progress compared to the remaining time.The LED lights also report my progress:Green = I'm either ahead or equal to the amount of water I should drink in the current 30 minute period.Yellow = Notifies me 5 minutes prior to the end of the half hour if my current progress is currently equal to the time progress and will go red in 5 minutes.Red = Indicates my water drinking progress is behind pace for where is should be in the current half hour period.
