2. Presentation Outline Problem description Detailed functionality –Required and additional Approach –General and additional Intended users Intended uses Detailed design

3. Problem Description The purpose of this project is to develop a binary alarm clock to display the current time.

4. Required Functionality Binary main display format 12 hour format (XX:XX:XX with AM/PM) or 24 hour format (XX:XX:XX) A settable alarm function Self-correcting for daylight saving time Withstand power outages for at least 2 hours Implement completed consumer product Display “Geeky” personality

5. Additional Functionality Self adjust/correct time Display date and weekday in binary Provide the ability to learn binary Snooze Automatic leap year correction Idle state during power outage

6. General Approach Approaches: 1.LEDs - AM/PM indicator 2.Alarm buttons - up/down counter - fast/slow speeds 3.Software code 4.3V coin cell battery 5.User manual 6.Clear case to show inner circuitry Problems: 1.Binary main display format twelve-hour format (XX:XX:XX with AM/PM) or twenty-four hour format (XX:XX:XX) 2.A settable alarm function 3.Self-correcting for daylight saving time 4.Withstand power outages for at least 2 hours 5.Implement completed consumer product 6.Display “Geeky” personality

7. Additional Function Approach Problems: 1.Self-adjust/correct time 2.Binary week/date display 3.Learn binary 4.Snooze 5.Automatic leap year correction 6.Idle state (lower power required) while running back-up power Approaches: 1.RF antenna and receiver 2.Binary LED 3.Digital LCD 4.User presses any button 5.Real Time Clock (RTC) 6.RTC low power detection – turn off week/date displays

8. Geek Clock (1)Time (2)Day of the week (3)Date (4)LCD display (5)ON/OFF or AM/PM notification (6)Mechanical switches for alarm control (7)Toggle switch for user preferences

9. Intended User(s) Those who... – Know binary code – Fit the geek persona – Want to learn binary – Adults

10. Indented Use(s) Standard alarm clock Outlet for geek personas Tool to learn binary
