Step 6Unplugging
The clock still has a weak point. When you unplug it, the alarm dies... I wanted a way to remedy this situation without resorting to dangerously fixing the plug in the wall...
Now this clock has a back up battery which preserves the clock settings when it is unplugged. I broke out my multimeter to measure the current coming from the battery when the clock is plugged in and unplugged.
A small 0.3mA current when plugged in, and a large 2.3mA current when unplugged. I wonder if i could use that change in current to switch another componant?
