Hexagonal Lattice IoT Clock

Memories of never-ending soldering...

Overview

I made an LED clock with animations for our club’s 2020 exhibition. It is based on the RGB HexMatrix IoT Clock project on Instructables.

How I built it

  • A WeMos D1 mini Pro drives a WS2812 LED strip.
  • I modeled the frame in Fusion 360 and 3D printed it.
  • The clock and the LED animations are programmed in Arduino.

Results

The clock was shown at the 2020 club exhibition, keeping time and playing animations.

Behind the scenes

There was a lot of soldering.

I worked overnight, and something went wrong 🤦

Working...

Finally!

I started all over again, and finally it worked 😇
