Party Popper Alarm Clock - More information
Instead of some litte beeps or squeaks this alarm sets off a party popper, guaranteed to wake you with a start!
The base and clock circuitry come from a "Flying Alarm Clock". Originally when the alarm was on a motor would be set high, now the input is into a Picaxe microcontroller. When the Picaxe detects the input is high it sends a signal to a servo that moves from one extreme position to another. The servo is connected by a chain to a crocodile clip that is connected to the string of the party popper.

just joking dont shoot me lol
The switch turns the power off for the servo and microcontroller when you just want it as a clock.
The wires could have been made much shorter or even have the buttons built into the case. They are long because that's what I wanted. That's the beauty of making things for yourself!
