💬 Smart Alarm Clock

@hek
Thanks!!!I've been stalking the forum and asking beginner questions for at least a year now... I've learned so much and am so grateful for everyone's help... Now I've finally got a project close to completion, so I thought it was about time to try and give back :)
Plus by sharing, the super smart forum members like yourself will probably tell me where I messed and could have done better... lol

We don't have anything similar in build pages on the main site. I'll add your project there as well.
You have a long list of features, will be interesting to follow!
@hek
thanks!!!!I've got a bunch of other things I want to add to it...
I'm really excited about adding @petewill 's Bed-Occupancy-Sensor... I've got two kids (and I'm planning on building them both a clock)... and they are at my house 50% of the time... so I want the alarms to go off on school days, but only when they are at my house.
So I plan on using the bed occupancy sensor to cancel the alarm if no one is in the bed.
On the flip side, if the kid turns off the alarm, but doesn't get out of bed within a set amount of time, I want the alarm to go off again... kinda like a forced snooze.
I also want to add an SD card and mini amplifier (LM386) so I can play their favorite song as the wake-up music... but I've got to wait for my aliexpress order of the LM386 to arrive (in 30 to 60 days...lol)

Cool project! I may need to build one of these myself. I have so many things on the project list and never enough time :(
-
Eventually I'm going to make a case/enclosure for it.
I don't want to make it boring, like a basic alarm clock rectangle.... instead I want to build it into something... kinda like this stereo in a mannequin I found on Pinterest
or like this clock in an NES
Although since it's for kids I'll probably use a toy dinosaur or something

I've finally settled on an enclosure design for my first (of 3) clock. This one is for my 10 year old son, I think he's going to love it.
I originally found this on pintrest....
I'm going to use the bomb idea but modify it to fit all my existing design elements.
I'm currently awaiting some parts from aliexpress and I'm still trying to find materials for the dynamite sticks. Hopefully I'll have everything I need soon so I can start to build it

Hi Can someone point me in the direction of the Ardunio code for this project? I have everything built and can get any code to work with the liquid crystal lib?

thanks for the reply and I might be missing it but the Arduino file is not posted under the code tab.

Hey everyone.
Sorry, had a computer crash and file loss issue a few months ago.
I can't find my final code file, but I did find an older version (incomplete) called ClockRebuild.ino and I uploaded it to the project.
Hopefully that helps
One day I'll come back and truly finish this project, life just keeps getting in the way
