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.
Create your own colorful ring of time using a neopixel 60 ring an arduino or compatible and a real time clock module.
This project uses the ds1307 real time clock with an arduino to display the time as a series of colored arcs.
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.
The arcs overlap and the colors mix.
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.
Minutes and seconds are each represented by a single green or blue led respectively.
As i was using.
Wol clock esp8266 12e 60 led ws2812b analogue digital clock.
The back of the monitor faces several coworkers so i decided to put the ring and another s.
Neopixel ntp clock using esp8266.
It is controlled by an esp32 which synchronizes the time online with an ntp server.
The inner ring shows the hours the outer ring shows minutes and seconds.
And the tsop1838 is under this.
And the tsop1838 output pin is soldered to arduino pin 10.
Now use hot glue to attach all the electronics in place the usb breakout is attached using the 6mm screws.
I recently had an idea to build a clock using neopixel ring and the popular esp8266 module.
This wall clock shows the time on two concentric led rings of 60 24 neopixel leds.
A simple clock using the neopixel 60 ring.

The sda and scl to a4 and a5 in the arduino.
Hours are represented by red minutes by green seconds by blue.
I am sharing the instructions for others who may want to do the same similar and save some time.
