This is the Alpha Clock Firmware discussion page. If you have suggestions for future versions of the Alpha Clock Five firmware, this would be a good place to leave them.

Documentation or feature demonstrating use of a common IR remote Documentation or feature demonstrating use of a solenoid or servo (useful for ringing a bell for example).

Documentation or feature demonstrating use of buttons ("mark time" or "laps", not necessarily stopping the clock).

Five letter word clock

How about a 5 letter word clock option? I don't know if you are familiar with the four letter word clock? The clock randomly generates four letter words. See http://www.tubeclockdb.com/news/236-zetalinkbiz.html. (I'm not affiliated in any way, just came up near the top of a google search).

A four letter word clock would be a cool operating mode as well.

Also, some animation options would be nice when the time changes: spinners, chasers etc.

How about a Bluetooth module that uses the serial interface which would connect to your computer and use the clock as a remote text display for tweets, stock ticker, emails notification, etc.

Sports watch fork?

Would it be possible to buy an Alpha Clock case without the engraved labels on the top piece? (For instance, for "no snoozing" contexts)
