ABOUT THIS PROJECT
Ambient Lightning Real-Time Clock
Aim
I made this Clock because I have a addressable LED strip laying around and I want to use it. Then I saw my room doesn’t have a good Clock that matches its walls. So I Decided to make a Clock which can change its colors according to users mood or wall color.
Making Process
YouTube Video –
https://youtu.be/BOfylZIl_ws
I firstly took a 24 x 15 inch plywood board.
Cut LED strip into pieces and paste them on the board
Then After soldering them I cover the whole with a black chart paper
Then paste a thermocoal sheet on top of it and cut the thermocoal with a sharp cutter in shape of 4 seven segment displays along with two holes in center.
Then made my circuit ready using circuits diagram given below
and pasted this all behind the board.
I also ordered a custom pcb for the same from https://jlcpcb.com they provide best pcb prototypes for lowest price from china and ship worldwide fast and secure.
after soldering all my components on my board I removed the breadboard and fixed everything behind the board and covered front section using a thin translucent trace paper.
The clock looks awesome and increase the beauty of wall. customization colors make it perfect for any wall.
