Smart LED-wallclock
Fully programmable RGB LED clock with Wi-Fi and buttons for functionality.
What it's about
A fully programmable RGB LED wall clock with Wi-Fi and integrated buttons for interactive functionality. The clock is designed and manufactured using 3D printing, combining digital electronics with a custom-made enclosure to create a functional and interactive wall clock with all the features one might need.
How it was made
The clock was developed through 3D design and 3D printing of both the enclosure and the diffuser. The electronics consist of three 8×8 RGB LED matrices controlled by an ESP32-S3 with built-in Wi-Fi functionality. The diffuser screen was custom-designed with different internal colors and layers to control the light distribution and enhance the distinctive pixelated effect seen in the images.
Tools & tech
Feeding the dog
The main reason I created this clock was to have a simple and visible way to remember to feed our dog. The clock also allows everyone in the household to register when the dog has been fed with the press of a button, helping avoid confusion and double feeding.
