DIY Unusual Arduino Linear Clock

[@morrisvelasco]

Thanks, it works perfectly, I would send you a photo so you can see it, this incredible

[@TradieTrev]

Always love how you build your cases from scratch.

[@RoSi4You]

I like unusual things and also very like, when maker makes his code available for others to learn. Thank you!

[@busy-alarm]

Mirko, tvoji projekti so fantastični 👍👍👍.

[@MirkoPavleskiMK]

Hvala puno

[@Enigma758]

Why not use INPUT_PULLUP?

[@laxmankaldante8054]

Nice 👍👍👍

[@shriyatronics5634]

RTC_3231' does not name a type; did you mean 'TCNT2_1'?
please clear

[@TheAcousticEvolution]

Nice Project but where is the DS3231 module in the shematic diagram?

[@MirkoPavleskiMK]

Sorry, SDa toA4 ad SCL toA5 of arduino

[@morrisvelasco]

The code has errors ('class RTC_DS3231' has no member named 'lostPower') and cant install on arduino nano

[@MirkoPavleskiMK]

Get Libraries from Arduino project Hub page

[@morrisvelasco]

It is possible to add to the code that the seconds blink between hours and minutes and between minutes and minutes, but these LEDs are not used anyway.
I would really appreciate it, If I knew how to do it, I would gladly share it with everyone

[@MirkoPavleskiMK]

Interesting idea

[@luigimorelli6444]

Very nice project... So sad you did not share the code... ;-)

// LINEAR CLOCK.
// This project was originally a Week-end project using elements from other projects: Arduino, Neopixel and wood support are re-used. DS1307 is later added just to play.
// Is a SIMPLE CLOCK using three colors: 5 Red LED indicates the HOUR. 1 Green LED indicates the MINUTE and 1 Blue LED indicates the SECOND. Neither date nor AM/PM indication is showed.
// 2 buttons are added to increase Hour and Minute.
// 7 LEDs are showed at a time: this allows to use +5V output from Arduino UNO pin. If more LEDs are activated, you are advised to check if an external +5Vdc power is needed to supply the Neopixel strip.
// You will need:
// 1 Arduino UNO.
// 1 NEOPIXEL LED Strip (60 LEDs per meter).
// 1 DS1307 RTC board.
// 2 Buttons
// 2 1K Ohm resistance.
// 1 5Vdc Power supply and USB cable to Arduino.
// Optional material: 1 prototyping board + 1 piece of wood to act as a support of the LED strip and Arduino.
// This code works for the Neopixel strip "upside down": the cables are in the inferior part of the strip (so the Arduino is placed near the base and closer to power plug).
// The code for Neopixel strip "straight" is called "Linear_Clock_RTC".
// RUclips video at:
// Images and more information at: Instructables.
// THIS CODE IS CREATIVE COMMONS: DISTRIBUTE AND USE IT MENTIONING THE AUTHOR @LluisLlimargas / www.llimargas.com (I'll be glad to know your opinion and suggestions).
// Stay Geek!

I found this code on github, raw.githubusercontent.com/Giroair/Linear-Clock-Arduino/master/Linear_Clock___RTC__inverted_.ino

[@luigimorelli6444]

@@TradieTrev Thank you very much! :-D
But that has to do with the Neopixel system... Need to translate to WS2812 ;-)

[@TradieTrev]

@@luigimorelli6444 It'll be something simple, have a look how coding neopixels compares with a ws2812. Good luck mate, the majority of the functionality code is there with the authors credits.
