NES Alarm Clock

Post by NiN^_^NiN »

I'm sure some of u guys have seen a nes clock before i know of atleast 1 person who did one.

I was bored and wanted to do one to my SMS but i have no idea where the case is :( sad tho it would of been cool as the sms has that sliding cover

Anyway i spent quality time making this and made it as nice as possible.

I don't have any pics of the inside but its just a alarm clock board hot glued to the roof of the nes with buttons soldered onto the pads

Anyway here it is
Image
The Power button is the Alarm button and the Reset button is the Snooze button

This is where the old RCA plugs use to be they now are mounted onto a black plastic plate and poking through the old holes

The left button is Minute and the right is Hour

The back has the power cable going out the AC socket port and the button is for setting the time

And this is the clock

Now im not finished i have 3 things to do

1) Hook up the red led next to the power button
2) Create a face plate for the clocks display to hide the electronics
3) Hook up the mario keychain

Now what does a keychain have to do with this?

Well i found a cool website that sells mario keychains for $6 USD that when u push the button it plays a sound from the super mario bros game

So i ordered 3
1) Mario Mega Sound (When he grows from a mushroom)
2) Mario Jump Sound
3) Mario Clear Stage Sound (The music when u slide down the flag pole and the fireworks go off if u did a good enough job)

Im hooking this up to the clock for power and to the Power button for the nes so when i cancel the alarm the NES plays a mario sound

Which sound im gonna use not sure but the Clear stage one sounds like a good one.

So here is my NES Alarm Clock i made cause hell i was bored and i had a lot of hot glue around :D

Nice job! Nes cases are great for projects. I made a nes dvd player a while back for a friend and it looked pretty badazz. Definitely go with the clear stage one
