An alarm clock with environment stats in pure bare metal embedded rust.
This alarm clock is programed in bare metal rust (no OS). It features pressure, temperature, humidity, monophonic alarm on a e-paper display.
The hardware used in this project is
- a blue pill board featuring a STM32F103C8 microcontroller (20KiB RAM, 64 KiB flash, ARM Cortex M3 @72MHz);
- a 2.9" WaveShare e-paper display (296x128 black or white pixels);
- a BME280 sensor for temperature, humidity and pressure on a I2C compatible PCB (VIN, GND, SCL and SDA pins);
- a passive buzzer driven by PWM;
- 4 16mm normally open push buttons (cancel, previous, next, OK);
- a 3D printed case;
- USB power plug;
- micro USB cable;
- a CR20xx coin battery (optional);
- wires (I use single core wires) and soldering set;
- 4 2mm wood screws.
You also need a ST-Link v2 to flash and debug.
Everything can be purchased on Aliexpress. Budget is around US $35 without the 3D printed case and soldering set.
Everything is plugged directly to the blue pill board.
E-paper display to blue pill board:
- BUSY -> A10
- RST -> A9
- DC -> A8
- CS -> B12
- CLK -> B13
- DIN -> B15
- GND -> G
- VCC -> 3.3
BME280 to blue pill board:
- VIN -> 3.3
- GND -> G
- SCL -> B6
- SDA -> B7
Buttons are connected to the blue pill board between G and
- A6 for cancel
- A7 for previous
- B0 for next
- B1 for OK
Passive buzzer is connected to the blue pill board between G and A0.
Coin battery to blue pill board:
- (-) -> G
- (+) -> VB
Plug the micro USB connector of the blue pill board to a USB power supply (or a computer).
For compiling and flashing, please refer to the blue pill quickstart. Note that a nightly toolchain is required.
