Athan Lamp

A device which is a house decoration, a lamp, and a speaker to play the Athan at the same time. It calculates the times of the athan accurately offline instead of from an online API to save money by using a cheap 8-bit MCU instead of an expensive wireless MCU like ESP32.

I recently moved to a home which is far away from a mosque, meaning I cannot hear the athan (Islamic call to prayer) anymore. I could've solve this by installing an athan application on my phone, but I can do better.

So I got the idea of making a device that's placed in my house and can play the athan during the athan time according to my location, this device also acts as a decoration in the shape of a mosque and a lamp. Below is a render I made in Blender to demonstrate the idea.

The timer in Arabic says: "time until athan"

The electronic schematic, PCB design, firmware, and soon the physical design of the device, are all made by me.

I would like to keep this main README short, but check out the Hardware and Software folders on GitHub for more info and implementation details.
