Python Alarm Clock
Solution 1
I've been looking at your code for a while now. As far as I can understand you want to be able to run an alarm while also being able to type "stop" in the shell to end the program, to this end you can make the alarm a thread. The thread will check if its time to say "ALARM!" and open the mp3. If the user hasn't typed stop in the shell, the thread will sleep and check again later.
I essentially used your code and just put it into an alarm thread class:
import time
import os
import threading
class Alarm(threading.Thread):
def __init__(self, hours, minutes):
super(Alarm, self).__init__()
self.hours = int(hours)
self.minutes = int(minutes)
self.keep_running = True
def run(self):
try:
while self.keep_running:
now = time.localtime()
if (now.tm_hour == self.hours and now.tm_min == self.minutes):
print("ALARM NOW!")
os.popen("voltage.mp3")
return
time.sleep(60)
except:
return
def just_die(self):
self.keep_running = False
name = raw_input("Enter your name: ")
print("Hello, " + name)
alarm_HH = input("Enter the hour you want to wake up at: ")
alarm_MM = input("Enter the minute you want to wake up at: ")
print("You want to wake up at: {0:02}:{1:02}").format(alarm_HH, alarm_MM)
alarm = Alarm(alarm_HH, alarm_MM)
alarm.start()
try:
while True:
text = str(raw_input())
if text == "stop":
alarm.just_die()
break
except:
print("Yikes lets get out of here")
alarm.just_die()
It is worth noting, that when the thread is sleeping, with:
time.sleep(60)
And you typed stop in the shell the thread would have to wake up before it realised it was dead, so you could at worst end up waiting a minute for the program to close!
Solution 2
import winsound,time
a= int(input("Enter how many times I have beep :"))
b= int(input("Enter when to wake up (in seconds) :"))
time.sleep(b)
for i in range(a):
winsound.Beep(3000,100)
winsound.Beep(2500,100)
winsound.Beep(2000,100)
winsound.Beep(1000,100)
winsound.Beep(500,100)

I've made this little alarm clock with a little help from my brother. I tried it last night, with out the
nonBlockingRawInput
and that worked fine, but with thenonBlockingRawInput
it didn't work. Today I've tried it but neither of them work! I will post the code with thenonBlockingRawInput
and the "non" file. If you want the code withoutnonBlockingRawInput
, just ask.Thanks in advance.
alarm rpi.py:
import time import os from non import nonBlockingRawInput name = input("Enter your name.") print("Hello, " + name) alarm_HH = input("Enter the hour you want to wake up at") alarm_MM = input("Enter the minute you want to wake up at") print("You want to wake up at " + alarm_HH + ":" + alarm_MM) while True: now = time.localtime() if now.tm_hour == int(alarm_HH) and now.tm_min == int(alarm_MM): print("ALARM NOW!") os.popen("open mpg321 /home/pi/voltage.mp3") break else: print("no alarm") timeout = 60 - now.tm_sec if nonBlockingRawInput('', timeout) == 'stop': break
non.py:
import signal class AlarmException(Exception): pass def alarmHandler(signum, frame): raise AlarmException def nonBlockingRawInput(prompt='', timeout=20): signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, alarmHandler) signal.alarm(timeout) try: text = input(prompt) signal.alarm(0) return text except AlarmException: pass signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, signal.SIG_IGN) return ''
