With this cool project from Tony DiCola you can create a Google Calendar connected, Arduino powered, smart alarm clock. The alarm will automatically set itself based on your calendar, meaning you can optimise your sleeping times without having to worry about missing meetings! The project will teach you about using TFT touch screens, creating internet connected Arduino devices, and generating sounds with Arduino. The Arduino alarm would not be considered a basic project, but the instructions provided are very comprehensive so you should have no problem completing the project if you are willing to put in the time.
To get started making your own Arduino alarm clock check out the following link.
Have no idea where to get started with Arduino? Check out our Experimenter’s Kit which provides a perfect platform to learn the basics.
The kit is comprised of a wide range of parts including a servo, sensors, lights, buttons, a sound module and more. Importantly, a Freetronics Eleven Arduino-compatible board is included to ensure that the kit contains everything you need to get started with Arduino. All these great parts would be useless without some form of instructions which is why we have developed a comprehensive project and instruction booklet to get you started. Check out the product page to find out more.
Looking forward to improving your sleeping patterns with this project? Let us know in the comments section below or on Facebook and Twitter.
