This repository contains an embedded application that implements an alarm clock using an RTC (Real-Time Clock) module. The application is designed to run on an embedded system, such as a microcontroller, and provides basic alarm clock functionality.
The embedded alarm clock application offers the following features:
-
Real-Time Clock: The application utilizes an RTC module to keep track of the current date and time accurately.
-
Alarm Setting: Users can set the desired alarm time using the application's user interface. The alarm time can be set to any valid time within the range supported by the RTC module.
-
Alarm Triggering: When the current time matches the set alarm time, the application triggers an alarm. This can be in the form of a buzzer sound, flashing LEDs, or any other output mechanism supported by the embedded system.
-
Alarm Snooze: Users can snooze the alarm if they wish to be reminded again after a short period. The snooze duration can be configured within the application.
To use the embedded alarm clock application, follow these steps:
-
Hardware Setup: Connect the RTC module to the embedded system according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure that the necessary power and communication connections are established.
-
Software Configuration: Modify the application's source code to match your hardware configuration. This may include specifying the communication interface, I2C address, or any other necessary parameters.
-
Build and Flash: Compile the application's source code using the appropriate toolchain and flash it onto the embedded system. Refer to the specific instructions provided by your development environment.
-
Running the Application: Power up the embedded system and observe the application running. Use the user interface provided by the application to set the desired alarm time.
-
Testing the Alarm: Wait for the alarm time to match the current time and observe the alarm triggering mechanism in action. Verify that the alarm is working correctly as per your hardware configuration.
