I just started to do this myself, using two Adafruit 1.2" 4x7 seg on a pico, using 8720 for NIC, but decided to scrap that and go with arduino (esp-32 w/ ethernet) but just got lost in the mess of my mind of trying, scraping and trying again. This was a fantastic video to get me back on track. Maybe I can use my pico again. Even worse, initially, I was going to have my pico also grab time from GPS and serve as an NTP server too. I think that's a bit too much for the pico lol. Oh well, good thing these boards are cheap (cost and power-wise). Looks like you've got some interesting content, subbing for sure.
Brilliant build; I really like the actual physical design of it; that clean/minimal look. Could almost be a spaceship module by the looks of it (I'm thinking 2001 Space Odyssey type clean and minimal). I'm considering building a web version of something like this and it's interesting to see how your user interface works, and your thought process on the configuration side. I'm also planning on eventually stepping into the arduino bottomless pit at some point, so I'm just nosing around the edges to see what's out there.
A couple dabs of glue on the tabs. For the most part, the tabs worked out OK. Next time I will leave a little more space. I ended up having to sand and file to get the right gap I needed to put the protoboard in.
Nice build, very nice; gives me ideas and also I have worked with the seven segments displays before and have had difficulties using them. I will look into getting the proper components. Thx for a great video.
I would like to know how to wire pi TFT to a Arduino! I've been trying to wire one to a uno for about a month now with no luck, searched online since the first day... Nothing
Now can you make a standalone Arduino NTP server for those people that use network cameras but who don't want to connect them to the internet for security? Using GPS module for exampe.
Yeah, I am pretty sure this is possible. While I was looking at NTP client libraries, I believe I saw a few that were capable of acting as a server as well. And time from GPS is for sure.
Um.... Did nobody else notice that the second LCD clock went from 12:39 to :12:49 (@19:55 in the video)? Seems like there's a definite problem there. It did correct itself on the next minute, jumping from 17:49 to 17:41 in synch with the rest of the clocks (@20:46), so it seems like a problem with displaying the zero. Presumably software, but could a wiring problem cause that?
Nice project! I wonder if there is an LED driver chip that can use I2C, I want to create a similar project using ESP8266 or ESP32, and I've used I2C before in my projects
Hi Josh, I left it open for configuration because there are sooo many timezones. I configured it for the TZ's that I work with most. But its pretty easy to add which ever you need.
thanks but still have this problem timeRules.h No shuch file or directory ArduinoClock-main (1).zip\ArduinoClock-main - ZIP archive, unpacked size 20,310 bytes Find timeRules.h file stored this file in the arduino library , but no luck
Hi, the Model and download 3d CAD don't correspond to the showed box. I think the 3D CAD file is for another project. Also, how to download it? We can only view it. Thanks
@@kalebclark5826 Thanks. I have already find this STL's Zip existing inside NTPWorldClock_Resources.Zip. The issue I was talking about was when i clicked somewhere (don't remember) into a link that show 3d CAD online format where I can turn and see all the 3D design but is not the good design for this project. the box there is for another project and also no way to download it. tell me please, the STL's files are they for 3D printer to print the box?
WOW, that's a great little project.
Thanks!
That’s incredible! Awesome job! I love watching this channel as you guys always have great projects! Take care. 73
Thank you Todd
Great project idea. Perfect for ham radio.

no alarm function? lol cool project, would of liked to see it go together, especially curious if the 3d tabs worked or if its full of glue 🤙

Thanks Eric, it was a breeze after finding the correct IC. I spent way too much time banging my head against the 23017's!
This is a great project.
I will aim for your technology.

Kali’s,
Would it be possible for you to make one of these units and sell it to a person? 🤔
Now can you make a standalone Arduino NTP server for those people that use network cameras but who don't want to connect them to the internet for security? Using GPS module for exampe.
Yeah, I am pretty sure this is possible. While I was looking at NTP client libraries, I believe I saw a few that were capable of acting as a server as well. And time from GPS is for sure.
@@kalebclark5826 Do you accept the challenge? :-)
Kaleb--Great project. However, every time I try to compile the code I get a "Wificreds" error. Can you shed some light on this issue. Thank you.

I looked but did not find one. That does not mean it does not exist though!
nice
Is possible that I can use Arduino mega 2560 to obtain similar out?
Very cool clock; could you share the code here? Thanks
Waiting for an answer!
👍
Have you tried India's timezone, which is UTC+5:30 ?
Hi Josh, I left it open for configuration because there are sooo many timezones. I configured it for the TZ's that I work with most. But its pretty easy to add which ever you need.
Adelaide, Australia is another odd ball time zone: UTC+10:30, including daylight saving(add an extra hour) atm
Add WiFi manager and give it away for Christmas !

I really like to make this project, but I can not find library #include "timeRules.h", can you please let me know where I can find this please
The code can be accessed on the Community: bit.ly/3m7nqBN
thanks but still have this problem
timeRules.h No shuch file or directory

I did find the answer, thanks for your response.

Thanks for letting me know, I will get that fixed!
This is fixed. The STL's can be found on the Element14 Page now as a downloadable ZIP file.
