This repository contains the code for operating my Raspberry Pi alarm clock.
Feel free to clone this code for your own use, or fork this repository and make a pull request if there's anything you'd like to see added.

- Flask web dashboard to customize clock settings
- Play YouTube audio instead of buzzer for wakeup
- Raspberry Pi 4 (Other versions should work, but I've yet to test it on anything else.)
- I2C 16x2 LCD Display Module
- 5V Piezoelectric Buzzer
- Mini Pushbutton Switches
- Jumper Wires (M-M, M-F)
- 10K Ohm Resistor
Also, GPIO pins can be configured in constants.py. In case you're wondering,
I've placed settings that users may change while the clock is operating via the web dashboard in settings.json and settings that should not be changed during operation in constants.py.
To install the required modules, run pip3 install -r requirements.txt.
Then run
sudo apt-get install python3-smbus and
sudo apt-get install rpi.gpio
Configure as much as you'd like in settings.json, then run run.sh. For debugging, logs are stored in alarm.log.
