Lesson Progress:
Confirmed email from my board 
Attempt to figure out PIR motion sensor 
Made the Flash LED widget on mobile 
Photo of LED lighting up from widget
I’ve read through both articles and will continue working on them tonight and this afternoon but wanted to send over what I have worked on so far.
Speculative Bill of Materials
- I am using the NodeMCU but you can use the Feather Huzzah ESP8266 with stacking headers (also available preassembled)
- I am using a 4 Digit 7 Segment Display from the ELEGOO UNO Project Super Starter Kit but you can also use the 4-digit 7-segment FeatherWing display
- Soldering iron and solder
- Neopixel Jewel
- Stranded wire
- Perma-proto half size breadboard
- Flush diagonal cutters
- Wire strippers
- Multimeter (optional but handy for troubleshooting)
- Third hand tool
- Tweezers
- Desoldering braid or solder sucker (optional if you’re flawless)
- Micro USB cable
- USB power adapter (optional)
- 1/4″ – 1/2″ MDF (4-6 layers): laser cut
- Wood Glue
- Paint
Project Proposal + Circuit Diagram
I decided to go with the bookend with an LED display that shows how long you have until your next meeting / event. The display would sync up with your Google calendar using IFTT and connecting with the Arduino IO. The plan is to also add a neopixel jewel to turn on when the value in the display is equal to or less than 5 as an alert of you need to be ready to do your meeting.
If I can figure it out I would like to make two so there would be one for different people. I think I would need to create another circuit using a different ESP8266 board.
