CarpeDiemAlarmClock is an alarm clock that is waking you up “gently” by gradually increasing the intensity of a NeoPixel LED-ring, before the alarm hits.
The alarm clock shall also has an option to sound a buzzer at alarm time.
User must be able to set clock and alarm time
The alarm clock will have at least the following modes: Alarm on/off, sound on/off, light on/off.
Time will be displayed with NeoPixel devices
Project extras
Serial commands / debugging
Display light shows / demos instead of clock time
Code
Code is built with the Arduino core for an STM32F103C8 devboard, using the STM32duino tools.
FreeRTOS is used, with several tasks and semaphores.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
