3D Printed PIR Arduino Nano Alarm Clock

Arduino-based, DS1307 RTC-driven alarm clock with passive infrared detector in custom 3D-printed housing.

I recently purchased two things, a Dremel 3D printer and DS1307 real-time clock module. I decided to use them both in a simple project (schematic).

I built an alarm clock, that uses a PIR (passive infrared sensor/receiver), 16x2 LCD, piezo buzzer, DS1307 RTC, and the Arduino Nano.

I printed a simple enclosure that would house everything.  Since the 16x2 LCD has a backlight, I have the PIR set to brighten the display every time I wave my hand nearby. It immediately goes dim to help save battery life and not be distracting on my night stand.

The alarms are all set to activate during the weekday, the backlight display will be extra bright and the piezo buzzer will sound. The alarm can be reset by simply waving my hand over the PIR.

As with most of my projects the intent was simple: use and apply more code learned, learn to draw and fabricate a 3D-printed object and finally make it functional.

Here is the code.

/* This is first attempt at building an alarm clock.

It uses a DS1307 RTC board to keep time.

A LCD 16 X 2 display.

One POT to adjust cursor contrast.

The LCD background is controlled on a PWM output.
