It all started out 30 years ago. When I built a talking alarm clock based off a 6502. Sound samples were stored on EPROM, (not this new flash stuff!), and bank switched into the 6502s small address space. I recorded myself saying 1, 2, 3, etc. Ended up with around 50 samples that just fit into each page size of the 6502. 30 years later I wanted to build another that had a few more features. So here it is. The newer version has: * 24x8 blue LED matrix display. * NTP sync. * Google calendar syncing. * SD card with sound samples. * Web interface for control. * Variety of display formats, (scrolling, fixed, AM/PM, etc). Some of my future plans: * Display alarm details from Google calendar. * Set the alarm MP3 file to play from Google calendar.

I've added a YouTube video of the initial build here:
