anyone care to sketch out this circuit for me?

I need a box with a push button that will start squacking (beeping) 24 hours after I last push the button. Don’t need it to allow different intervals. Just 24 hours. No flashing lights. Pushing the button turns off the beeps and starts another 24 hr cycle. Don’t need it to tell time. That should be simple but I can’t get past the 555 timer curcuit.

Such would keep my doctor happy!

Any help appreciated. I can fabricate everything - just need a circuit diagram.

No problem. I'll get on to it in the morning or just give me another reminder in 24 hours time.

 

I can do it with two off-the-shelf chips.
If it were me I would do it with one MCU chip and 1-second accuracy.
How much timing error can you tolerate? That is, do you care if it is 5 minutes early or late?

 

There is an inherent flaw in your logic. Each day, unless you happen to push the button immediately, the time for the next alarm will advance by the length of time that you have missed by. A better solution would be an alarm that goes off at the same time every 24 hours.

Number Twelve is busy with winter chores...wagging a paint brush, checking noises under the car...things like that.

Nice to know.

That seemed like a really, really random interjection until I realized you had been tagged by killivolt a few posts earlier!

I removed my post which will through this Thread into a Vacuum but, I think it's a none issue because I really think @spinnaker posted something more relevant.

What's wrong with the alarm on your phone?
Set it to go off every morning at x:yy

Or, set your Samsung TV to turn off at x:yy and then turn on at x:yy (you can select the turn-on channel -use QVC as the channel so you'll be sure to get up and change it and take your medication.

Too logical..

Of course pills may indicate they are older... older may equal less likely to have a smart phone..

 

Whats wrong with the phone is that it goes off wherever you are, unless you are carrying all your pills with the phone, the alarms will be useless. I had actually set that up on my phone, and, more often than not, it did not help me take my pills. A back burner project for me, when I find the time, is one that will sit next to the pills in the bathroom, detect that someone is there (via light most likely) and beep if I haven't taken my pills for that day.

Sounds like what you really need is a reminder to take your pills with you when you leave your house..
Of course if your phone alarm goes off and you aren't there then simply set another alarm for when you think you will be home..

OP just requested a 24 hour timer with no other real stipulations..

$29 on an Alexa Dot or Google Mini also gets you pill reminder skills/timers/text messaging alerts,etc... too..

Or a common or garden discount store travel alarm clock IOW.

Use a little common sense and carry your medication with you if you need to take it through the day.

 

Who said anything about takings meds through the day. I take mine all at once, and yet I still cannot seem to do it reliably.

I am not the OP by the way. I was just weighing in on my experience with a suggested solution. It did not work for me.

Then your phone alarm wouldn't be going off in the middle of the day then would it?

I love how some people around here are looking for problems when they already have a solution.
