Your challenge is to create a countdown timer using a servo as an analog display. The timer will have the following features:
A paper or cardboard dial to display the time between 0 and 60 seconds in increments of 5 seconds.
A servo will have a pointer sweep through 180 degrees (between 0 and 60 seconds)
A potentiometer will be used to set the timer. (turning the pot will cause the servo to point to the starting time). Timer will be able to be set to any time between 60 and 1 second.
Upon setting the timer, a button press will start the timer counting down. The pointer will continuously display the remaining time in a sweeping motion.
When the timer reaches zero, a buzzer will sound. Pressing the button will silence the buzzer.
Once the buzzer has been silenced, the potentiometer can be used to start the timer again
