ALARM CLOCK Setup for Meetings, Appointments, Reminders and Tasks (SMART), tis clock uses an Arduino Yiin and your Google Calendar to automatically set alarms, And it looks cool too! ‘Wouldn't be nice to have an Internet connected alarm clock that automatically sets itself, based on your calendar? You ‘would never miss an early appointment, never forget to set your alarm and enjoy more restful sleep knowing you've solved ‘he nightmare of regulating your alarms. ‘Aninternet-savvy alarm lack could even ‘watch your inbox and wake you up friends or family send you an important email This SMART. Alarm Clock uses the ‘Arduino Vin, which isa special Arduino with two processors. One processor runs an embedded version of Linux andlis connected tothe internet over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, The other processor uses the same chip as the Arduino Leonardo microcontroller, allowing the Yi to work with most Arduino shields and accessories By using the Arduino ‘Yn this projct can tlk to complex web services withthe Linux processor and interface with hardware—an LCD touchscreen—on the second processor. ‘The software fr the S MART. Alarm Clock uses the Temboo service to Advertorial TONY DICOLA ENGINEER communicate with calendar and mal ilies. Temboo isa platform for simplifying access to many web services, andithas great support for the Arduino Yin. To bil ths projec, youl need to sign Uupfora re account on Temboos website, Temboo uses what it calls “choreos,” which are code shortcuts for various Application Programming Interfaces, or API. In other words, it will help you work with online services that would otherwise be very time-consuming to code yourselt. For example, you could parse Yahoo! Weather data, receive PayPal payment notifications or even submit free-form Wolfram Alpha ‘queries. Hundreds of APIs from Amazon, NPR, Twitter, YouTube and others are avaiable, The SMART.
