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…
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 time I will show how I built the LED light cubes shown in the picture above. I call them TinyLightCube, as they using an ATtiny85 as a microcontroller. The cubes will change their color depending on how they are tilted. Parts For one color cube we need following parts: Read more…
In this post, I will build a super cool word clock with Arduino and Neopixel LEDs. Such word clocks cost several hundred euros in the trade, but with a little skill, they are also fast self-built. I show you how it works. The electronic base is similar to that of Read more…
