To start off the project, prototypes were made to figure out how the clock would work.

First a mechanical prototype was made using a metal kit. This helped me learn how much power it took to actually flip a lighswitch.

Next, an electric prototype was made using a lego robotics kit, and this gave an example for how the gears would work. There would be a gear rack sliding, moved by a larger gear.

To start off the light switcher, first I simply got an arduino to spin a servo back and fourth.

Next, I attatched an LCD to the arduino, and found a way to display the time on it.

Lastly, the gears arrived and the circular gear was attatched to the arduino.

I plan to get a box to set everything in, bars to mount on the gear rack, and a remote to control the alarm.
