Alarm Clock kits
The Alarm Clock Addon is a pre-bagged kit containing the extra components needed to for our @ShrimpingIt Alarm Clock project. This is a breadboard circuit which can be programmed to run on very low power, keeping accurate time, controlling melody chimes or your choice of time display.
The Addon combines with the @ShrimpingIt kits described below (or equivalent parts) enabling learners to follow our step-by-step wiring guide, and then to upload our software examples using the free Arduino IDE.
