Minimalist IoT Clock using ESP8266 Adafruit.io IFTTT and Arduino IDE

Minimalist IoT Clock (using ESP8266, Adafruit.io, IFTTT, and Arduino IDE)

In this tutorial I show how you can make a minimalist clock synchronized with the internet. I tested it with two different ESP8266 based boards: Firebeetle and NodeMCU. The microcontroller gets current time from a Google server, and displays it on a NeoPixel LED ring. It also receives current weather data from WeatherUnderground, using IFTTT

EXPERIMENTAL NEXT GENERATION CHIP SCALE ATOMIC CLOCK

EXPERIMENTAL NEXT-GENERATION CHIP-SCALE ATOMIC CLOCK

Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and partners have demonstrated an experimental, next-generation atomic clock—ticking at high “optical” frequencies—that is much smaller than usual, made of just three small chips plus supporting electronics and optics. Described in Optica, the chip-scale clock is based on the vibrations, or “ticks,” of rubidium atoms confined in a tiny

Web Connected SMART LED Animation Clock With Web based Control Panel Time Server Synchronized

Web-Connected SMART LED Animation Clock With Web-based Control Panel, Time Server Synchronized

The story of this clock goes back a long way – more than 30 years. My father pioneered this idea when I was just 10 years old, long before the LED revolution – back when LED’s where 1/1000 the brightness of their current blinding brilliance. A true innovator, he coded in assembly language and hand
