The question I consult Siri most with is - What is the temperature? Terrible at speculating outdoor weather from my cozy dorm, I find myself running to my closet multiple times on a fine Cambridge morning - we all know how capable the town is of changes. Thus, I decide to settle the issue once and for all by getting a too-cold alert that lights *blue* whenever the temperature drops below 15 Celsius degree.
This is me trying to Doraemon all the circuit knowledge, which is still in progress.
The huge learning curves for this week is to figure out 1.how circuits work, 2.compatibility of components, 3. what to connect with what. While 3. is still mystery, other biblios I find helpful are How to Read Schematic with SparkLearn and McGraw-Hill Circuit Encyclopedia.
Credits to Anthony for explaining and troubleshooting Electronic Design with Fusion. Any learning that happens is his, any fail is mine.
The design consists of a comparator and a thermistor.

//Anthony has critiqued multiple things I should work on -
GND connection is just wrong>>understand the matter of what makes a circuit on the whole better;
Traces and vias are skinny>>spend some time with real boards at ee lab.
MCU is missing>>my goal with final project is to build a plant narrator that spits out its mood on a mini thermal printer. More on that coming.
