RGB LED Strip Clock

Summary of RGB LED Strip Clock


This project features an analog-style clock built with an Arduino microcontroller. It utilizes an RGB LED strip for visual display, a DeadOn RTC module for independent timekeeping via SPI communication, and a custom user interface that enables users to adjust settings and modify the clock's appearance.

Parts used in the Analog Style Clock:

  • Arduino microcontroller
  • RGB LED Strip
  • DeadOn RTC
  • Custom user interface

For the final project we made an analog style clock with an Arduino microcontroller. To do this we used three major components: an RGB LED Strip, a DeadOn RTC, and a custom user interface.

RGB LED Strip Clock

The LED strip is used to set the display around the clock. The DeadOn RTC is used to keep time independent of the microcontroller and communicates using SPI. The custom user interface allows the user to make various selections concerning the display of the clock and setting the time.
