Gone are the days of waking up in the night, forcing your eyes open to check the time, and then blinding yourself with your phone backlight!

I recently ordered my revision 1 PCB, and got it back yesterday. With a few minor tweaks to the hardware and software, the system worked great on the first try!


Last-Minute Tweaks to the Rev 1 board

Next Steps

There are definitely a few improvements to make on the next revision. Now that I am confident with the circuit I'm going to try to reduce it's footprint, that means replacing the massive DIP-28 and beeper packages with smaller, probably surface mount parts. I'm also going to implement the battery backup on the RTC. I also have plans for other features, such as a clap detector circuit or a low-energy conversion so that the circuit can be used with batteries (perhaps as a watch).
