Re: gEDA-user: Looking for a project



Have a numeric keypad for setting the alarm time.
I don't want to have to use a computer to set the alarm, hence the local keypad.
I hate holding the buttons to loop through time.

Ok, so we need something that can run embedded linux (or other OS), with LCD, ethernet, audio. A gumstix can do all that, with a little support circuitry. It makes for an expensive clock radio, though.

More fun would be a minimal clock radio, and use a PC to make all the
"smart" decisions.  Tiny MCU (pic, m16c), tiny ethernet (cp2200), mp3
chip, and LED display.  Use PoE and avoid the power cord, too.
