Popcorn is a tribute to the Time-of-day telephone service. Just push the button and it announces the current time.
BACKGROUND
Starting around 1950, you could dial 'POPCORN' anywhere in Northern California and you'd get an automated time-of-day announcement. In 2007, AT&T stopped offering the service because of decreased usage and because the equipment was no longer serviceable. I always thought it would be fun to do my own version of popcorn using different voice samples, and finally got around to putting it together. If you're curious what the original popcorn sounded like, here's a sample mp3.
THEORY OF OPERATION
Popcorn uses an LCD UI module and Propeller Platform SD. The only hardware I added was a headphone jack that goes out to a computer speaker. Everything else is stock.
The microSD card holds the code and voice samples as 16-bit mono wav's. Each number has its own wav (00.wav - 19.wav, 20.wav, 30.wav, etc) and so do the supporting phrases (morn.wav = "Good Morning", pst.wav = "At the tone, Pacific Standard Time Will be", and so on). You can switch out the samples by changing the files on the SD card.
One cog manages the screen, updating it continuously, and checking to see if the 5-way d-pad has been center-pushed. Pushing center will enter a time update mode to let you change the time and date. A second cog manages the audio announcement. It checks to see if the big red button has been pushed. If so, it asks the RTC for the time and plays the appropriate wav files.
If you've got a Propeller Platform SD and LCD UI, you can try it out by downloading the code + samples. Just copy to a microSD and turn it on and it will start up. With a Parallax Protoboard or demoboard, you'll probably want to change the pin assignments and you'll need to add a DS1307 Real-time clock.

Here are the schematics for the Propeller Platform SD and LCD UI.

Human hands are the two prehensile body parts, each with four fingers and one thumb, located at the far end of each arm. They are used for a wide range of tasks from the roughest motor skills (wielding a club) to the finest (threading a needle). Many tasks require learned hand-eye coordination where movement is controlled by the brain which receives visual information from the eyes, tactile sensation from nerve endings in the skin including the fingertips, and joint position sense from nerves around joints. Note that arteries and nerves have not been drawn in across the middle of the hand and palm to show the deeper layers.

Cloud Gate sculpture, AT&T Plaza, Millennium Park, Chicago.
Apart from the aerial shots of the city and the Metra line entering the South Loop, the only actual Chicago location is the surreal mirrored sculpture seen at the end of the film – Anish Kapoor’s amazing Cloud Gate (affectionately dubbed The Bean).
strange to spend a week on a tropical island and see how much litter from packaged food and beverages is everywhere... how to create a reward system for good behavior?
equally relevant in nyc or any other city as well...
there are really no wp-fakes in this shots :)
all the images are drawn with the (new) image-function of conky
3 conky scripts:
the first one draws the panel"extension" and the dark top frame of the sys info, including "sys" and battery bar
the second script draws the more transparent window with the sys-infos
the third one draws just the frame for the now playing screenlet, and if not playing, the small frame ("psst....", bottom sshot) (done with "if-else")
the only suckin thing is to draw the images in gimp lol
more apps: awn, nautilus with edited sourcecode, terminal an sonata/mpd and an half hided panel centered on left side for weather and calendar
