My mini magic Alarm Clock!

cowboysdude

Right now the ONLY touch function that I needed was the alarm clock and this module is used for that:
https://github.com/fewieden/MMM-AlarmClock

You can turn the touch function on and off.

I have an official Raspberry Pi 7" touch screen so I had to do nothing to get it to work!! It just worked!
I plugged a powered speaker into the 3.5 jack on the RPI and I have sound… nothing more to do there.

What I’d like to do is find out if it’s possible to add the touch function to this module:
https://github.com/barnabycolby/MMM-Carousel

BUT I am also using this module:
https://github.com/ianperrin/MMM-ModuleScheduler

That turns the modules on and off at different times… at night the only thing that shows is the time and date…
keeps the glare down :)

my 7 inch touch just arrived this week and i havent opened it yet! lol…although i was thinking of using it with my extra Pi3 to make a photo booth!

@cyberphox That would work!!! I had the screen was waiting on the pi that got here yesterday and by last night it was up and running! :)

On Friday night my frame should be here [tried to make one but it literally exploded into pieces!]… and I’ll post more pics!

Actually I’m also waiting on this:

because I’m curious and want to see if I can make this work on a pi zero :)

cowboysdude

There it is complete!! :)

Thanks again @strawberry-3-141 for the awesome touch alarm clock! :)

Looks cool! Can you change the alarm from the GUI rather than the files themselves?

cowboysdude

@Cheese2face No it has to be done via the config file… ;)

Hey, I know this topic is extremely old but I’m really interested in making an alarm clock like this and I was wondering if u could tell me what type of frame you used.

Man, I’ve been wanting to do this for so long, just didn’t know how to get touch working… ideally, I’d like to be able to schedule the alarms from the touchscreen, but this would work.
