A friend introduced me to neopixels (WS2812) programmable LED’s. That would be great for my word clock, so I re-did the clock. It is very much a mixup with a slightly different size and code. The 8×8 WS2812 modules are also cheaper than the colorduino, I used before. Check out my previous Ible if you want to […]

The beginning of the project came from an idea, an inspiration from a video posted on the Internet on the YouTube channel “I like to do things” … Then came the need to make a stand for one of my monitors that housed a clock, a digital analog converter – DAC – integrated into an

I know that I am not the first to make a word clock, using an Arduino. Still it was always something on my ‘to do’ list to make a Dutch one. For a different project I’ve bought a ‘colorduino / rainbowduino / funduino’ a long time ago to test something. This gave me the inspiration

Although you can buy analog tide clocks that have a single hand indicating whether the tide is high or low or somewhere in between, what I wanted was something that would tell me at what time low tide will be. I wanted something I could glance at quickly without having to turn it on, or push any

Hi everyone, this is my second instrucatable! This time we are going to build a wooden clock with temperature and humidity display. Like shown in the picture, our the time will be displayed through the “wood”. Since light isn’t strong enough to pass a piece of wood, we are going to use wood texture vinyl stickers

Even after 25 years of its introduction to consumer market, infrared communication is still very relevant in recent days. Whether it is your 55 inch 4K television or your car sound system, everything needs an IR remote controller to response to our commands. There are many technologies available in the industry, say Bluetooth, RF or

I’ve been growing more and more interested in the idea of First Person Video (FPV) drone racing. I’ve recently acquired a small drone and wanted a way of timing my laps – this is the resulting project. This drone landing pad features an integrated ultrasonic sensor that detects a drones presence. When a drone departs

Today, I will show you how to build a Word Clock. It is basically a clock which displays time using words. I will also show you how to use a Shift Register and RTC using a microcontroller. Shift Register can come in very handy if you run out of pins in a microcontroller, so its a good
