Just when we think we’ve seen all possible combinations of 3D printing, microcontrollers, and pretty blinkenlights coming together to form DIY clocks, [Mukesh_Sankhla] goes and builds this geometric beauty. It’s kaleidoscopic, it’s mosaic, and it sorta resembles stained glass, but is way cheaper and easier. The crucial part of the print does two jobs — it […]

Working with graphics on microcontrollers has always meant focusing on making the most of limited resources. Particularly in the 8-bit era, all manner of tricks were used to get low-performance chips to achieve feats beyond their lowly station. However, these days, we’re blessed with 32-bit workhorses with clock speeds in the tens, or even hundreds,

IoT Corner Arduino, the Italian company known for its maker-friendly ecosystem of microcontrollers, launched a new professional-grade development board for IoT. The Portenta H7 features a dual core processor, with an on-board graphics accelerator that allows users to connect it to an external monitor via the USB-C port. The Portenta H7, which supports WiFi and

Time is probably our most important social construct. Our perception of passing time changes with everything we do, and when it comes down to it, time is all we really have. You can choose to use it wisely, or sit back and watch it go by. If you want to do both, build a clock

This Instructable shows you how to build an 80s style digital “dali” clock with melting digits. I first came across this style of clock on the Apple Macintosh back when I was a kid in the 80s. This Instructable shows my attempt to recreate the clock using an Arduino and a high resolution color touch

Build an interactive arcade bedside clock, with a touchscreen, and animated arcade figures that you can record a sound of your choice for the alarm. This is an update of a previous project which now includes a 3D Printed Case and four separate programs to choose from 1. Arcade Clock – DK Mario, Space Invaders

In my previous project, I developed a smart bathroom scale with Wi-Fi. It can measure user’s weight, display it locally and send it to the cloud. You can get more details about this on link below: https://www.instructables.com/id/Wi-Fi-Smart-Scale-with-ESP8266-Arduino-IDE-Adafrui/ This solved part of my problems: how to keep a record of my weight and track my gain
DIY Smart Scale With Alarm Clock (with Wi-Fi, ESP8266, Arduino IDE and Adafruit.io) Continue Reading
Now I think just about everybody has a binary clock and here’s my version. What I enjoyed was that this project combined some woodwork, programming, learning, electronics and perhaps just a little artistic creativity. It shows time, month, date, day of week, temperature and humidity on the marble display in a binary form – an

The IoT Cricket (£16) is a small package based on the ubiquitous ESP8266 chipset, popular for its solid wireless LAN support. ESP microcontrollers are widely available and some can be had for just a couple of pounds, so it may come as a surprise to see a British-designed and made product introduced to an already saturated market.
Review: IoT Cricket Continue Reading
Are you fascinated with the passage of time? Do you want a stylish, modern and functional timepiece to add to your clock collection? The word clock is a one-of-a-kind time telling device, using a grid of letters to spell out the time. While you could spend thousands of dollars on other versions of this idea,
