After my Wordclock 2.0 and Ringclock, I want to present my third clock, which has an ESP8266 and Neopixel-LED. I call it DigitalClock because I use NeoPixel-LEDs to display four seven-segment displays. LEDs also illuminate the dynamically changing background. Features of the clock: Content 1. Material for the DigitalClock with Read more…
Hey folks! If you got a kick out of my Word Clock 2.0 build, you’re going to enjoy what’s up next. I’ve been tinkering away and am stoked to introduce the LED-RingClock. It’s another little project that combines the cool glow of NeoPixel LEDs with the brains of an ESP8266 Read more…
Here is one more small project I build on one weekend. the starting point was a spare “Raspberry Pi Blink!” mini LED strip originally planned for a Raspberry Pi. I wanted to build at least a little bit useful project with these eight LEDs. A seven-segment display is therefore perfect Read more…
In this article, I present my basic hardware and software parts for a smart LED lamp project, which is to be controlled via WiFi. Two examples of such a project are a decoration LED tube light and my newest word clock, which requests the time via the Internet and displays Read more…
Two years ago I already built a word clock with NeoPixel LEDs. You can find the article about it here. At that time I built the word clock only with an Arduino and queried the time via radio. But this time the plan is to make the clock bigger, prettier Read more…
This post summarizes the steps to program an ESP8266 with its own program written with Arduino IDE. I used the ESP8266 for example in the project MANU – 3D printed robot hand. Installation of Arduino IDE First, the latest version of the Arduino IDE needs to be downloaded and installed Read more…
The starting point of my new project was the fact that I bought my own small 3D printer and now thought about what I can build with this printer. It should be a complex mechanical project, but it should also be automated. I came up with the idea to build Read more…
