attiny85 with white LED and 128x32 i2c oled display - 2 buttons for set hours and minutes

ATtiny85 Watch

Use a ATtiny85 8pin AVR chip as watch with a alarm LED, a 128x32 i2c oled display and 2 buttons for set hours, minutes and count down (alarm).

Features

• optimized for 1MHz (8Mhz needs more power)
• displays the Lipo power in mV (menu mode)
• Button 1: Display on (clock mode) or set hour/minutes
• Button 2: switch through clock, led on, menu mode (set hours), menu mode (set minutes)
• 1/8th of a second: a hour glas
• CPU power down between every cycle of 120ms (with 128Hz clock)
• time accurency: about 2sec in 1hour
• lifetime: above 46h (65mAh Lipo after charging it)
• low battery symbol

Circuit

Vibration alarm

I use a BC108-C . Set Vibration motor + to RAW (3.7 till 4.1V) and V-motor - to the collector, GND to the emitter, LEDPIN to the basic.

Chassis build with 1:3 silicone (hardware store), food coloring and maize starch (supermarket).

Strange timing and flashing

I have to switch via sh 8MHz.sh skript from 1MHz back to 8MHz, because Arduino IDE can not flash ATtiny85 in 1MHz mode. After programming I have to switch ATtiny85 back with the sh 1MHz.sh script.

Thanks to Neven Boyanov and the Tinusaur/SSD1306xLED project. (MIT License) The Tinusaur Project. I modified it to use a 128x32 instead of 128x64 oled display.
