All the hardware and software was designed from scratch, and brought from a concept to a fully functional product over several months. The schematics, layout, and soldering of the primary board were completed 100% by the students.<\/p>\n<p>What makes DPAC special is that it will <strong>automatically set your alarm each day<\/strong> to the optimal time, based on your<strong> Google Calendar<\/strong> schedule. It connects to any home network with an <strong>802.11b\/g Wi-Fi connection<\/strong>, and connects to our web service which performs the computations and returns the desired alarm time.<\/p>\n<p>The alarm time is calculated with an algorithm which takes into account several factors including driving distance, traffic, and weather. It will start with the driving distance to the location indicated in the calendar entry, and add a percentage of time\u00a0depending\u00a0on the severity of traffic and weather events. Lastly it adds a fixed configurable value set by the user to shower, eat breakfast, etc, each morning.<\/p>\n<p>The clock features a <strong>6.4&#8243; LCD<\/strong> with a large easy readout of the time and other information, with a full user interface to control devices\u00a0and settings.<\/p>\n<p>There is also a full audio system featuring stereo <strong>4W speakers<\/strong>, an <strong>FM radio<\/strong>, and<strong> iPod connectivity<\/strong>. These are driven by a Class AB amplifier giving a full and rich sound comparable to other sound docks on the market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The DPAC is a EE Capstone Design project from five students at Northeastern University.
