When you buy the "Complete Wise Clock 4 kit", you get, on top, of the Wise Clock 4 kit, the 3216 bi-color (red/green/orange) LED display from Sure Electronics, plus the enclosure, consisting of two laser-cut plexiglass plates and the required hardware (spacers, screws etc) to assemble it.
The "complete kit" comes with everything you need to build a functional Wise Clock 4. You will need to add your own FAT16-formatted SD card (with the necessary files on it), the miniB USB power cable and, eventually, the XBee module (if you want Wise Clock 4 to display remote messages, sent through internet, for example).
The assembly guide, written by StefanK, can be found here.
Lots of Power in Very Small Volume

I just got by Wise Clock 4 and I thought I'd share since I've written a new clock for it. Probably boring for most of you though. This is an alarm clock for my toddler who can't tell time (of course). It uses colors to tell him when he should be sleeping and when he should get up.
ReplyDeleteI didn't need to, but I wrote all the code so its self contained including setting multiple alarms, setting the time, and turning the audio on and off.

What are the differences between the Wise Clock 3 and 4? Why would someone want 4 over 3 or the other way around? Thanks.
DeleteVery Cool - do you have your code in a repo somewhere that we can play with?
DeleteChris,
DeletePlease take a look at this post:

It also has a link to the source code. For some reason, google code says "deprecated", but it's not.
This is great! Definitely not boring.
ReplyDeleteShould be in its own (guest) post. Let me know if you want to write a short presentation of the features, eventually publish the code.
Hi Florin,
ReplyDeleteAs a Wise Clock 3 owner, I would like to know if it is possible to only buy the Wise Clock 4 board because I already own the rest of the hardware.
The board has all SMDs soldered on it, so it's not really "only the board". PM me and we'll work out the details.
