+# AVR WRISTWATCH
+## What is it?
+This repository contains the code in development (and soon schematics) for a small wristwatch with a 128x32 OLED display. I'm hoping it will last the whole day, have cool animated visuals, and be pretty to look at.
+
+## Desired Features and Goals
+* 128x32 OLED monochrome display
+* 128kb upgradable external EEPROM for images and short videos
+* Fancy graphics, display images and videos that can overlay time with inverting filter
+* Battery that lasts at least a day
+* USB-C charging (may switch to micro-usb depending on IC prices/availability)
+* Display the time
+
+## Parts
+* Microcontroller: Any ATmega chip with TWI/I2C I can get my hands on
+* Display: Waveshare 128x32 0.91inch OLED display
+* RTC clock: PCF85063A
+* EEPROM: BR24T128-W
+* Battery Management: TBD
+
+
+## Why
+This project is to help me learn how to develop for AVR without Arduino libraries, read datasheets faster, and to prove I can solder small SMD components. It will be my first physical project where I design my own PCB, which has been something I've wanted to do for a long time.
