There is a Fritzing schematic of the project in the main folder (look for the fzz file) that outlines how all of the parts need to be put together. The "Fritzing" directory has all custom parts used so you can import them into the program and use the fzz file.
There is a bill of materials (OpenOffice Calc format) in the main folder listing all parts that were used in the build.
There is a bill of materials (OpenOffice Calc format) in the main folder listing all parts that were used in the build. Please note the BoM does not include project boxes, PCBs or similar items necessary to "finish the build". Most of those choices are left to the implementer to choose based on need/want.
IMPORTANT: To use the Adafruit Trinket Pro, you must setup a slightly different Arduino IDE as described here: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-arduino-ide-setup/overview . You can use an Arduino Micro as a drop in replacement (identical pinout, follow the schematic/Fritzing docs for wiring).
@ -18,6 +18,8 @@ The build can be customized in the following ways
* Use an Arduino Micro instead of Adafruit Trinket Pro. The code has been tested and is working with the Arduino Micro
* Omit the SparkFun LiPo Fuel Gauge. The code will auto-sense the fuel gauge and enable features if appropriate
* Use a PIR distance sensor instead of the magnetic door switch. The code is setup but untested for PIR sensors
* The battery in the schematic / docs can be swapped for whatever the implementer prefers
* Project boxes and PCBs are left to the implementer to pick what works best for the need at hand
