At night it would say "Goodnight"
In the morning it would wake you with "Hello"
If you hit snooze it would say "I don't blame you"
Every five minutes from then on it would ask "Are you still there?"

HOW DO I BUILD THIS

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 25 23:08:30 2011 No.2950676 Portal is a shitty game. But yeah, /g/ would be better. Too bad they're all stupid as fuck. Try with an ITX motherboard? I have no idea how to program a clock, but you could probably program a cheap computer to be a clock.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 25 23:08:30 2011 No.2950681 >>2950658 why not just look for a computer program that does this?

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 25 23:10:30 2011 No.2950691 Is the screen required? Read up on this, and learn to make sounds: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 25 23:11:30 2011 No.2950703 >>2950676 Yeah, because it's easier to construct a computer as opposed to a clock.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 25 23:11:30 2011 No.2950705 Electronics would be easy, but making a good looking outer shell would be difficult. Arduino would do it easily, but arduinos are for fags sooooooo

i have the time and will, explain how please, i'm not going through pages and pages of wikipedia and forums to learn how to build alarm clocks in all their different forms and find out the best method when i'm sure someone here already has the skill, please share the knowledge

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 25 23:20:30 2011 No.2950727 >>2950705 thanks guys, i'll look into the ARM architecture, i was thinking about just making the shell with clay and a catarinfrangent (is that the english word?) and some red leds for the eye

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 25 23:20:30 2011 No.2950729 >>2950710 Just look up Arduino tutorials and judge whether it's easily in your grasp or not. It's certainly doable, and really quite simple if you have electronics experience

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 25 23:20:30 2011 No.2950730 >>2950676 >Portal is a shitty game You're entitled to your opinion bla bla bla, but shitty is a bit strong. The only person I've ever met who didn't like Portal only ever played FPS like Call of Duty.

gotta say ive been watching this thread all day across several boards. i have functionality ideas but nothing solid as far as engineering the project :(
the eye should be the clock
the turret wings should pop open when the alarm goes off, model detail guns would be the speakers
I think that the outside case should be die-cast
it has to be at least a foot tall

Anonymous Mon Apr 25 23:32:30 2011 No.2950748

Use an AVR microcontroller for the functionality. For the outside, use PVC; it can be bent into different shapes once you warm it with a heat gun. I've unrolled a section of tubing into a flat sheet before, so you should be able to make a clock case using that method.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 26 00:14:30 2011 No.2950847 chumby can run flash, just build it in flash and there you go

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 26 00:23:30 2011 No.2950873 Arduino + Wave Shield. Done.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 26 00:27:30 2011 No.2950895 >>2950771 Overrated means that most people think and say that it's better than it actually is. Also I still have no clue what the fuck a catarinfrangent is.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 26 00:49:30 2011 No.2950943 >>2950895 It's a retroreflector, apparently.
