LightClock

LightClock is a simple clock based on an Arduino + LCD shield, Chronodot and NeoPixels rings.

Similar projects worth following
LightClock displays the time on the LED rings and LCD screen.
Time can be adjusted using the LCD shield buttons.
LightClock uses the Adafruit Chronodot which is a battery-backed RTC so it doesn't loose track of time when it's unplugged.
The case design sucks, it needs to be redone. in the meantime, a little crazyglue will prevent it from falling appart.

This was initially the base of a workshop to introduce the Arduino to a bunch of friends.

I've listed ideas for future features in the Readme on Github...

  • Update to the OpenSCAD files

    Just added a couple of OpenSCAD files for the PIR sensor and the buttons that I will use for the master on/off switch as well as the PIR override pushbutton. Also I modified the LCD shield file to include a version of the shield without the stacking headers and a version with them. It's all on the PIR branch in Github.

  • PIR Sensor

    I've just created a new branch to add a PIR sensor to the clock. it's used to light-up the clock for some amount of time (currently 1 hour) when it detects movement, otherwise turn all LEDs and LCD screen off. Next is a button to override or lock the on/off state. 

    The PIR sensor and button will probably replace screws as "eyes" of the clock, when I redesign the enclosure.

  • It's crappy but it's V1

    I've just decided to call the current state v1. it works as expected even though the code isn't exactly clean and the case design sucks...
