Cooperative project to display an analog clock with digital RGB LEDs.
This is a supermodule containing different parts:
- Code: https://github.com/ModischFabrications/Verdandi_Code
- PCB: https://github.com/ModischFabrications/Verdandi_PCB
- 3D-Printing & Lasercutting: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4943201
Be aware that manufacturing and assembly takes at least a full day and ~60€ of materials if you build it yourself.
Connect the clock to an adequate power supply, 5V and >500mA should be fine. We assume that your network allows outgoing connections. A WiFi connection equals network connectivity for us.
Connect to the IP address of your device and start playing around with the UI:
Look into the submodules for more hints on how to get and customize everything.
- Power on the clock
- Check for a wifi network called "Verdandi"
- Connect with it, select your network and input your password
- If everything worked the hotspot should disappear and the clock should show up. Repeat if not.
- Open up the small hatch in the back of the clock
- Connect the wemos to a PC with an usb cable
- Open a serial terminal (I know, sorry...)
- Read the terminal output to find out your IP
Example output:
*WM: Connection result:
*WM: 3
*WM: IP Address:
*WM: 192.168.178.69
- Download and start any network manager, for example Network Analyzer (Android)
- LAN Scan > Scan, remember devices
- Plug in the clock
- LAN Scan > Scan, look for the new device
Watch out, disconnected devices will persist a bit longer than powered.
This is a follow up to a now deprecated previous project of mine: https://github.com/ModischFabrications/RGB_Clock
