Neopixel ntp clock using esp8266.
Neopixel wall clock.
And the tsop1838 output pin is soldered to arduino pin 10.
Hours are represented by red minutes by green seconds by blue.
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.
I recently had an idea to build a clock using neopixel ring and the popular esp8266 module.
Minutes and seconds are each represented by a single green or blue led respectively.
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.
And the tsop1838 is under this.
This project uses the ds1307 real time clock with an arduino to display the time as a series of colored arcs.
It is controlled by an esp32 which synchronizes the time online with an ntp server.
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.
I am sharing the instructions for others who may want to do the same similar and save some time.
The hardest part was getting the code right.
The sda and scl to a4 and a5 in the arduino.
The inner ring shows the hours the outer ring shows minutes and seconds.
A simple clock using the neopixel 60 ring.
With the new neopixel 60 ring we have a perfect display for presenting the time with rgb leds.
Now use hot glue to attach all the electronics in place the usb breakout is attached using the 6mm screws.
This wall clock shows the time on two concentric led rings of 60 24 neopixel leds.
It ll even keep the time when unplugged.
The neopixel chan serial in si is soldered to arduino pin 6 with the 330 ohm resistor in series.
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.
