This project is incomplete. I've hit a major roadblock and haven't had the time to return to it! I do plan on completing this project sometime...


ESP32 Alarm Clock

Overview

A DIY alarm clock using salvaged 7" LCD displays from old intercom devices, an ESP32, and (maybe) a wireless snooze button.


Hardware

  • ESP32 microcontroller
  • 7" LCD (salvaged from intercom)

Undecided

Encountered severe issues with the intercom OS that would take too long to reverse-engineer. I'm considering moving towards a small projector rather than an LCD...

  • Radio (or maybe bluetooth?) transmitter/receiver with a big ol' snooze button

Features

  • NTP time sync over WIFI, so the time is always accurate
  • Accounts for daylight savings time
  • Huge digits so my blind ahh can see the time when I'm in bed (without glasses)

Build Notes

TODO

Add wiring diagrams, code snippets, and images
