Just created this blog, and already some news: The first prototype of my alarm clock is ready. It is still an early prototype, but almost all hardware is present:
  • Raspberry Pi
  • RGB PWD control (PCA9685 + ZXLD1362)
  • I2C bus extender (P82B96)
  • Radio circuit (Si4730)
  • Audio line buffer (DRV612)
  • Amplifier (TPA0172)
  • LCD Display (Newhaven Display NHD-16032AZ + MCP23017)
  • Light sensor (TSL2561)
  • Touch button sensor (MPR121)
As you can see; everything is working ! But still; lots of work to do:
  • Create all PCB's
  • Actually writing the software
  • Testing... lots of testing....
  • Add an extra IO Expander (driving relay's)
