Smart WakeUp

At the end of my first year of MCT (Multimedia and Creative Technologies) I had to make a project. I came up with the idea to create a smart alarm clock.

I got that idea because I've overslept multiple times.

In this Instructable I'm going to share how I made my smart alarm clock.

The first thing I did was think of all the materials I was going to use for my project.

I made a list of all the components and how much it all costs. The price for all the components was € 117,87.

The full list of parts I used for this project are in my github repository

When I knew what I wanted to build and what materials I was going to use I started making my database.

I created this ERD (Entity Relationship Diagram) using MySQl Workbench.

In my database there are 5 tables. The main table is the table history where I receive all the data from my sensors and where I can see what action they did. Then I also have a table alarm where I store the data of all the alarm clocks. Lastly I have a table sleep where I store the data when you sleep, when you wake up and when you turn off the alarm.

You can find my SQL database in my github repository

After all the components arrived I started making my circuit.

Firstly, I made a Fritzing scheme so I could visualize my circuit better. Then I recreated my circuit.

You can find my Fritzing scheme in the attachments or in my github repository.

Now that I had a database and a circuit I started designing my website.

Before I made my design using html and css I made my design using Adobe XD.

My website has 2 main webpages the first one is the main page. The page that you see when you open the website. You can see all the alarm that you have set and if they will repeat. When you scroll down you can customize the RGB ring. The second page is the graph page. Here you can see how long you have slept or how long it took to turn off the alarm clock.

You can find my design in Adobe XD in my github repository

Now that I have a design in my head I started coding. Firstly I wrote some code for all my components in a test file. When most of my components worked individually I started putting things together.

When everything worked I started making my website and integrated my components in my website.

When I was ready with writing my code it was finally time to make my housing for my electronics

I decided to laser cut a box for my circuit. I made the design for my housing using the program Adobe Illustrator. When I had all my wooden plates I started putting my components in the housing. I drilled 3 holes for my buttons and I drilled a hole for the cables of my RGB ring. Finally I cut a hole out for my weight sensor and then placed all my components in the housing.
