This is a smart clock which gives time and weather. The columns and colors indicate the temperature over a 32h time period (1 column = 1h) and the weather logo shows the trend at +4 & +12h. ---------------------- BOM: 1x Adafruit Matrix Portal - CircuitPython Powered Internet Display 1x Medium 16x32 RGB LED matrix panel - 6mm Pitch (bought mine on Adafruit) 1x Motion sensor (generic) 1x Black LED Diffusion Acrylic Panel - 10.2" x 5.1" - 0.1" / 2.6mm thick (bought mine on Adafruit) 1x Clear Adhesive Squares - 6 pack - UGlu Dashes 4 M4 screw 5 self taping screw, 3mm diameter -------------------- Assembly: - Trim the back of the LED matrix, there is two small plastic extrusion to cut. - Bolt the base to the LED matrix via the M4 screws - Prepare the Matrix Portal as indicated here: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-matrixportal-m4 - Connect the Matrix Portal to the motien sensor. Respect polarity. (The defaut pin for the sense wire is A4) (solder) - Install the Matrix Portal in the case - Hot glue the motion sensor to the base. (Adjusting screws must face outside) - Install the back panel with the 5 self taping screws. - Cut and install the diffuser panel ------------- Arduino: - In the arduino IDE, install all the required libraries (https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-matrixportal-m4) - Place the provided .ino and .h files in your arduino folder and open the smartClock.ino file - Create an openweather API - Store your wifi credentials and openWeather API in the crendential.h file - In the main arduino file (.ino) customise the fields under //to customise - Transfer the program to the board - The time the display stays on is adjusted on the motion sensor via screwdriver Have fun :)
