Epic Lamp with smart alarm

thingiverse

This is an innovative alarm lamp designed to make waking up in the morning easier. It's controlled by a microcontroller and has its own website where you can set an alarm for the morning. For example, if you want to wake up at 6:00 am, you can tell the lamp to turn on the light 15 minutes before that time. The lamp will gradually brighten until it reaches maximum brightness at 6:00 am, making it easier to get out of bed when your alarm goes off. I milled the lamp's design, but you can print it yourself if you prefer. However, keep in mind that printing the base with plastic won't provide a proper heatsink for the LED, so you'll need an extra heatsink. The metal housing and arms control the lamp using capacitive touch, which means you can turn it on and off by simply touching it. If your lamp is made of plastic, you'll need to add a button or mount a metal plate/foil to enable this feature. I've included my code for the microcontroller, but unfortunately, it's written in German. If this project gains popularity, I'll translate the code and write a detailed tutorial on how to set it up correctly. I may also improve the design to make it work seamlessly with plastic materials. Some possible future features include controlling the lamp using clapping or vibration (e.g., by knocking your nightstand).
