Binary single row Led Clock (24h)

thingiverse

This is yet another clock, I know, and once again a binary one, I'm aware. I simply enjoy creating various kinds of clocks, mainly utilizing RGB LEDs. Binary time isn't always easy to read, so I thought to make it even more complicated. I believe this makes it more interesting on the other side, if you also appreciate such things. The time is displayed like an ordinary digital clock, but each number is presented in binary code. For example: 21:36:43 = 10 0001:011 0110:100 0011 I had the chosen layout in mind after creating my last binary LED clock, and I also noticed that others have already had this same idea. So, I took the chance to design one that can be 3D printed at home and built with easy components. It's simply using a single strip of WS2812B RGB LEDs (IP30 version, since I only used them indoors), three-pin connectors with +, -, and data pins. The clock can be powered by an Arduino or an ESP8266 module, or an equivalent device. I currently use either the full-size ESP8266 or a Wemos D1 (or clone) for my builds. For my latest projects, I typically implement the WiFi Manager, which allows me to set any WiFi network I need by simply pressing a push-button on startup. Once done, the module will store the given SSID and password and use it every time it boots without requiring manual interaction. I'm also including the Arduino source code and OpenSCAD sources here for you to modify as needed to create different versions of the base model. I hope you find this creation interesting and fun.
