Alarm Clock of the Short Now
|
I am unemployed at the moment, but I’m very busy. I tend to work late nights and wander over to bed when I run completely out of steam. The problem is that this happens at a different time every day. I end up being too lazy and stupid to re-set the alarm clock, so I don’t bother. I oversleep. Recently I realized that I need a special alarm clock that instead of going off at a particular time goes off after a set duration. Like an egg timer, but grand!. So, I made one, and I realized that it would be a great beginner’s project. I could have added things like a snooze feature or a variable time span, but I opted to keep it simple. If you want something much more complicated, you can try my MP3 player project. Or add some crazy stuff to this one. This is also easily adapted to other timing and control projects. Operation: To use the clock, flip the switch to “onâ€? and get in bed. The LED will blink once each second to let you know it’s working. Go to sleep. When the alarm goes off get up and flip the switch to “offâ€?. It’s a new day! |
