Arduino Alarm Clock Using a Real Time Clock and LCD Screen

via Udemy

Overview

Make your own Arduino Alarm Clock and set the Alarming time and interact with Time and Date efficiently and effectively

What you'll learn:
  • Make your own Arduino Alarm Clock
  • Interface Real Time Clock Module with Arduino
  • Learn Working Principle of Real Time Clock DS3231
  • Interface LCD with Arduino

Introduction:

The Arduino is a microcontroller that can be programmed to control various electronics. In this project, we will use Arduino to control a real-time clock and an LCD screen. The real-time clock will keep track of the time, and the LCD screen will display the time. We will use a button to set the time, and an LED to indicate when the time is up.


Welcome to this course:

In this course, we'll be using an Arduino to create an alarm clock that uses a real-time clock (RTC) and an LCD screen. We'll start by soldering the RTC onto a breakout board, and then connecting it to the Arduino. Next, we'll write code to set the time and date on the RTC, and then use that information to display the time on the LCD screen.


This course will teach you ways to create your own Arduino alarm clock and set the Alarming time and interact with Time and Date Variables efficiently and effectively, This Guide will take you in a very step by step manner to understand what each component inside this circuit is, and what it does and the way to wire it up, starting with the RTC DS3231 Time and Date Module and ending with resistors.

You will know what's the particular working rule of the RTC Module and the way to interface and configure it correctly so you'll make your Arduino Powered alarm, and look at the time and date additionally to initiate alarm action.



Why you should take this course?

  • : You will learn how to use the RTC module and LCD screen with Arduino, and how to programmatically set the time using the Arduino IDE

  • This course teaches you how to make your own Arduino Alarm Clock.

  • This course will show you how to set an alarm time and interact with Time and Date on an LCD screen efficiently and effectively.

  • You'll learn the basics of circuit board design, programming, and electronics.

  • You'll also learn about Arduino boards, sensors that detect light levels, temperature, movement, voltage levels, sound levels, etc., how to program them using the Arduino software environment (Arduino ide), use of variables for input and output, math operations like addition and subtraction, loops to run tasks over and over again if certain conditions are met or not met again.


After this course, you'll be ready to make your own Arduino alarm clock employing a Real-Time Clock and LCD Screen therefore the choice is yours to use it and apply it with any application that comes to your mind and may make your life easier since all connections are explained in details.

We are aiming to set the specified alarm time inside the code using Arduino. The RTC Module will take care of the time and date values.
