Chumby-Powered DIY Alarm Clock Reads Weather and News
 
http://www.howtogeek.com/geekers/up/...f7d8063bd1.jpg




If you’ve got a perfectly functional but boring alarm clock this Chumby-powered hack will upgrade its old Beep-Beep to a custom readout of the weather and daily headlines.


Thomas shares, on his personal project blog FeedYourHead, a tutorial for hacking a $10 off the shelf alarm clock to accept input from a Chumby development board (essentially a bare bones version of the commercial Chumby device). He wired the audio output on the Chumby into the alarm clock’s speaker, plugged a spare Belkin Wi-Fi dongle into the board, and wrote a bit of code to pull in the weather and top headlines for the day and read them aloud in place of the alarm clock’s buzz.
