Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : DAB Radio clock running MMBasic

Hi,

To my own massive surprise, I finished* a long term project

It is a bedside DAB/DAB+ radio alarm clock. It streams digital radio through a serial radio module, keeps its clock automatically in sync with the DAB broadcast time signal, shows the time alongside temperature/humidity on a colour TFT, and dims its display to match the room's ambient light. The whole interface is simplistic: Driven by a single rotary encoder plus a toggle switch.

More in the repository.

Here is also a short video.

Cheers
Thomas

* Well, my wife disagrees as the alarm sometimes goes off without being set, but I consider this a minor flaw

Nice project. Is it pico, or mm2 based?.
