Voice Activated One Bird Clock

Firmly say "Time" and this bird will count the hours by bobbing forward and the minutes (in multiples of five) by bobbing backward. He does a little "wobble" between hours and minutes so that you will know, "the times, they are a changing."

An Arduino "listens" for sounds and operates a servo motor to display the time.

Major materials needed:

Arduino Radio Shack

Above is an abbreviated flow diagram for the software.

Software:

#include <Servo.h>

int ledPin = 13;
int minute=0;
int hour=7; //start time at 7
int valm=0;
int valm1=0;

Servo myservo;

static unsigned long lastTick = 0; // set up a local variable to hold the last time we moved forward five minutes
// move forward five minutes every 300000 milliseconds

void setup() { //set outputs and inputs
myservo.attach(5);
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);

}

void loop() {

if (millis() - lastTick >= 300000) {

}

// move forward one hour every 12 five minute intervals

Wire up the microphone assembly on the breadboard.

Separate the drinking bird from his legs. Drill a couple of holes on one side of the leg assembly and glue the servo motor (I used Gorilla glue) to the legs.

Drill a hole in one side of the bird's "axle."

Drill a hole in the servo arm.

Fasten the servo arm to the bird with a screw.

Twist the bird "axle/servo arm" assembly and screw the arm into the servo motor.

Twist the bird/arm into its final position. Tape the end of the arm to secure it and prevent slippage. I used aluminum duct tape.

Connect the Arduino to your computer and upload the software.

Place double sided tape on the Arduino and breadboards. Stick them to the butter dish.

Cut the end off the cable that comes from the servo motor (red, black, white).

Solder one end of a jumper wire to each end of the servo cable.

Plug all the wires into place.

Plug the clock in--it will default to seven o'clock.

Each press of the red button will advance the clock five minutes. If the time is 8:15, press the red button 15 times.

You may want to stop occasionally and say "Time" to the bird--making sure you don't overshoot your target time.

That's it--enjoy!
