Almost out of the testing phase! A screenshot of the config page.. http://www.neonixie.com/IV-9-6D-RR/neonixie-clock-alarm-page-preview-04-09-2023.jpg
For anyone curious the AnyRtttl library for the Arduino IDE works a charm for a clock alarm! It's the standard Nokia developed for custom ringtones on their cellphones! I Provided a field for custom tunes on the alarm page. Hook up to a simple piezo element and there you go. I know I shouldn't be this excited by a clock that beeps and boops like a 70's childrens game, but I am!
