Tony Stark: [about the 2012 version of Steve Rogers, to contemporary Rogers]Mr. Rogers, I almost forgot, that suit did nothing for your ****. Steve Rogers: No one asked you to look, Tony. Tony Stark: It's ridiculous. Scott Lang: I think you look great, Cap. As far as I'm concerned, that's America's ****.
— Avengers: Endgame, 2019Back when I was 14 in 2016, I completed my first coding project, which was an alarm clock. Although it does not amount to much when compared to my ability now, I am proud of what I was able to accomplish with so little experience.
The clock was made with an Arduino Uno, along with a compatible LCD, potentiometer, and buzzer/piezo.
A time can be set in the clock's code specifying when the alarm will go off, which it will continue to do for 15 minutes (a long time, I know, but my track record for waking up on time is not the best).
While the original build was housed in a wooden case, it had to be disassembled, so I have recreated it online via Tinkercad's circuit simulator.
I hope this old project of mine will inspire others to take up programming, as it did for me.
See below for a flow chart I made at the time depicting the code for the clock.
