Add bluetooth threshold settings #3

Open mattudakis opened 2 years ago

mattudakis commented 2 years ago

The photoresistor on the clock uses a threshold to determine the brightness. This threshold will depend on the environment position that the clock is located.

For example: The photoresistor in a clock positioned near a window will read vastly different to that in a clock in a darker corner of a room.

Two possible solutions:

  1. Use Bluetooth serial connection to be able to adjust this threshold remotely and save the value in the eprom memory
  2. more elegant; the clock learns the max and min photoresitor levels over a 24hour period from being powered on and autoupdate the threshold to eprom.

will likely implement solution1

After testing this might not be needed. Will keep this open in case of future problems
