DESCRIPTION
I love dark humor and quirky gadgets, so I created The Doom Dial as a fun, slightly morbid gag gift. Using an Arduino and an LCD display, this device "predicts" the user's remaining days every time they press the button. It's a mix of randomness, suspense, and a bit of existential dread—perfect for those who enjoy a good laugh at fate.

Breadboarding and Soldering
I first breadboarded everything to ensure it was working and tinkered with the code to make it function as I want. I then proceeded to solder it and create an enclosure for it.
Final Prototype
User Test
My peers loved it and thought it was very comedic.
