Project help request: Striking a bell manually, alarm clock.
Hello! Glad to be here at this forum. My name is Steve. I'm looking for help designing a circuit for an alarm clock bell. The bell is a "singing bowl" struck with a leather mallet.
Variables user can set:
Initial Clock time
Clock Time Zone
Chimes: 1-10
Duration between chimes: .100ms - 5 seconds
Intensity of strike: (not sure how to rate this, ie harder or softer)
Design goal is for a physical mallet to strike the singing bowl via actuated 12v motor. (I can get fancy and design a little wooden figure to strike bowl later)
I'm thinking the clock settings can be built into wooden base via a small analog LCD screen. Or everything configured via super basic app with the above variables listed above, connected via bluetooth.
My idea isnt novel. This gentleman created a similar invention. Link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXs8M0czlbs
If interested in helping me please let me know! My skills are soldering, wood working and finishing. Looking forward to your reply!

Next step is to program an alarm clock.
Alarm clock features:
- Set time
- Set alarm
- Set number of chimes.
Im not sure where to begin on this. Any help much appreciated. Thank you
