A couple of weeks ago i noticed the hole in my monitor stand at work is almost exactly the same diameter as a ring of 24 neopixels that i had lying around.
Neopixel wall clock.
The sda and scl to a4 and a5 in the arduino.
Neopixel ntp clock using esp8266.
Now use hot glue to attach all the electronics in place the usb breakout is attached using the 6mm screws.
Hours are represented by red minutes by green seconds by blue.
It is controlled by an esp32 which synchronizes the time online with an ntp server.
This instructable will guide you through the process of connecting the following parts to create an interesting and accurate analogue digital clock which will automatically set the time from the internet parts needed esp8266 12e module can be bou.
As i was using.
With the new neopixel 60 ring we have a perfect display for presenting the time with rgb leds.
I am sharing the instructions for others who may want to do the same similar and save some time.
The back of the monitor faces several coworkers so i decided to put the ring and another s.
The arcs overlap and the colors mix.
The hardest part was getting the code right.
The inner ring shows the hours the outer ring shows minutes and seconds.
Neopixel 1 4 60 ring 5050 rgb led w integrated drivers 9 95 in stock add to cart adafruit ds1307 real time clock assembled breakout board 7 50.
The neopixel chan serial in si is soldered to arduino pin 6 with the 330 ohm resistor in series.
A simple clock using the neopixel 60 ring.
I recently had an idea to build a clock using neopixel ring and the popular esp8266 module.
Create your own colorful ring of time using a neopixel 60 ring an arduino or compatible and a real time clock module.
Leave one pair of din and dout disconnected this will be where the neopixel strand begins and ends the microcontroller data pin will connect to the din here.
This project uses the ds1307 real time clock with an arduino to display the time as a series of colored arcs.
And the tsop1838 is under this.
It ll even keep the time when unplugged.
This wall clock shows the time on two concentric led rings of 60 24 neopixel leds.
