3Dprinted Lunar Phase Clock

thingiverse

Here's a 3D printed Lunar Phase Clock that you can build for your desk. The clock was designed by G4lile0 in 2016 and has been updated to version 4.0. The clock is powered by an Arduino Nano, which stores the time and alarm settings in its RTC (Real-Time Clock) memory. This means that if there's a power outage, the clock will remember its previous settings when it turns back on. One of the cool features of this clock is its precise lunar phase simulation. It also comes with a detailed 3D printed model of the moon and a thermometer, hygrometer, and lamp. You can customize your clock by adjusting its tilt and brightness. The clock even has different modes for relaxing or partying. Here's what you'll need to build this clock: * Arduino compatible Nano (Atmel ATmega328) * 0.96'' OLED display with SSD1306 chip * APA102C LED strip (18 LEDs) * Tiny RTC (DS1307 real-time clock + 24C32 EEPROM) * DTH11 temperature and humidity sensor * Buzzer * Three push buttons You can find the source code for this project on GitHub. If you're new to 3D printing, this is a great project to get started with. The clock was created using OpenShot video editor and features music from Sport Action.
