The program that turns your HP-41CX (or 41C/CV with a time module) into the ultimate alarm clock. It gives your belowed calculator all the features of a very advanced alarm clock. It even lets you hear the time so you don't have to turn on the light to see what time it is :)
I have a passion for old Hewlett Packard calculators. I love to program these little beauties. Now and then I even make a very usefull program such as this one. I have never seen an alarm clock that can do everything I wanted it to. So, I decided to program my HP-41CX to serve my needs. It has the features I want:
* Set the alarm to a specific time
* Set the alarm to a certain time from now
* Set the alarm to a preset time from now
* Move the alarm a ½ hour into the future
* Move the alarm a 1 hour into the future
* Hold the alarm clock until you restart it
* When the alarm goes off, stop it by pressing any key
* When the alarm goes off, snooze by ½ hour
* When the alarm goes off, snooze by 1 hour
* Clear the next alarm
* Clear all alarms
* Hear the time!
* Hear when the alarm is supposed to go off!
* Hear how much time left untill the alarm goes off!
More precisely, here is the key mapping:
LABEL DESCRIPTION
ALMS Starts the program. Shows some of the mapping for the top keys so
that you don't have to remember this list and then stops.
Pressing R/S will give you the running clock. Pressing R/S again
will give you the alarm catalog. Another R/S gives you the version
number of the UAC. Then pressing R/S will return you to the
mapping (menu).
ALM Set an alarm. Just enter the time and execute ALM. If the time
greater than the present time, it will set the alarm for that time
later today. If the time is less than the present time, it will
set the alarm time to that time tomorrow.
ALM+ Enter the time from now you want the alarm to go off and execute
ALM+.
LBL A Set the alarm 8:10h into the future (to change this preset time,
change line 11 in the program).
LBL a Set the alarm 9:00h into the future (alter by changing line 18)
LBL B Postpone the alarm by ½ hour (both if the alarm is sounding or if
it has not yet sounded). If the "wake-uo"-type alarms have been
cleared (by pressing "C" or "c"), it will set an alarm ½ hour from
now.
LBL b As above, but postpone the alarm by the amount you enter.
LBL C Delete "wake-up"-type alarms.
LBL c Delete all alarms.
LBL D Hear how long it is until the alarm goes off. Same principle as
with SCLK - one low beep per 6 hours, then one high beep per hour,
then one low beep per quarter.
LBL d Hear when the alarm is supposed to go off. Same principle as with
LBL D.
SCLK Hear the time. First it sounds 1-4 low beeps signaling
(LBL E) which sector of the day the time is within: 0:00-05:59, 06:00-11:59,
12:00-17:59 or 18:00-23:59. Then 1-6 beeps signaling the number of
hours within the sector, then 1-4 beeps signaling which quarter it
is within the hour.
LBL e "Hold" the alarm until you press R/S to let it continue again.
This makes it possible to wake up in the middel of the night with
a brilliant idea that you want to write down. Press "e" to hold
the alarm until you are ready to return to bed. Teh press R/S and
you still get your usual hours of beauty sleep.
When the alarm goes off, press any key to stop it. If you then press R/S, it will snooze for 10 minutes.
The UAC gives you sound feedback for all the functions. This is done so that you know if you pressed the right button in the dark.
