Raspberry Pi Pico Alarm Clock Housed Inside Laser-Cut Case

If your Raspberry Pi projects are boring you to sleep; this Pico-powered alarm clock created by Vernon over at NerdCave is sure to wake you up! Using our favorite microcontroller; it features an LCD screen; buttons for controlling and setting the clock, is housed inside a custom-designed case and even accepts DC input for power.

It works like a standard alarm clock but with four buttons for programming the alarm and setting the time. The LCD displays a simple interface for configuring the clock. The far left button is used to set the alarm, the next two add and subtract minutes to determine the alarm time while the far right button confirms the alarm.

This project is simple enough for beginners but has plenty of room for more experienced makers to add and remove features as they go along—much like the other project shared to his YouTube channel, NerdCave. Vernon specializes in microelectronics projects and shares all of the details at NerdCave for anyone who wants to follow along with or modify the projects to suit their needs at home. We recently covered his Pico-powered joystick LED project which uses an analog stick to trigger LEDs.
