School Bell 2

This document contains an Arduino sketch for a modified school bell system using an RTC module. The system rings a bell every 5 minutes starting from 2:05 PM, with options for normal, pattern, and hourly bell types. It includes functions to control a buzzer and relay for the bell sound and timing logic to prevent multiple triggers within the same minute.
