Programmable Yoga Timer
The Programmable Yoga Timer allows users to preprogram time intervals for a conventional timer so that the timer does not have to be reset multiple times. A simple user interface enables users to easily manage time-sensitive activities without having to constantly reset the timer. The system takes advantage of the H8/38024F demo board’s on-board microcontroller, four-digit LCD, and RS-232 serial interface for flash memory downloading. The H8/38020 microcontroller-based prototype incorporates a voltage reference, a piezo speaker, and several switches. Nine preprogrammed sequences with as many as 20 time steps of up to 99 min. and 59 seconds each can be stored.
