Rolly Robot Alarm Clock

5. Putting it all Together

With our robot built, the Raspberry Pi configured, and the BrickPi programmed, we only have one step left to complete. In order for our robot to play its alarm and move, we will need to give it a start time. This can be done by simply logging into Google Calender and adding a new event. This event must be titled “wake1” and be given the time when you would like the robot alarm to go off. Simply save this event and your robot will wake you up and make you get out of bed to turn it off the next morning. It is also possible to add a small speaker which will play the ‘alarm_sound.mp3’ file while the robot moves around the room. This .mp3 file can be any track as long as the name remains the same.
