Android Powered Alarm Clock Radio

thingiverse

This is an enclosure to build an Android Powered Alarm Clock Radio. It is powered by a inexpensive pre-paid smartphone paired with a small set of speakers. Archos used to make an Android Alarm Clock radio, but it was terrible with a 3.5 inch resistive touch screen. No one makes one now anymore with any reasonable modern Android OS, so I went ahead and deigned one myself. I made 2 one for my night table and one for my wife's. Since it's android, you can run anything you can run on a smartphone, and not have to have it near your bed, I do anyway, but what's another screen -- right? But with this being strictly bed side android device which doesn't move from the night stand, it allows for very different functions than you'd do on a tablet or a phone. We've had them for almost a month and we like them.
