DIY Guide: Arduino Based LED Alarm Clock

DIY guides and instructions for DIY and do-it-yourself projects

Making an accurate microcontroller clock can be a little tricky but you can learn how it’s down by building your own Arduino alarm clock using LED Matrices and a coffee can housing. All of the electronics are based on Wisedino (Arduino with timing capability) and used an LED Matrix shield to display the time. Â The [...]

Coffee Can Clock

This Coffee Can Clock is a nice piece of work, there is a good build log and tons of details here at the Wise time with Arduino blog. “The electronics is based on Wiseduino (Arduino clone with DS1307 real time clock on board), with a LED matrix shield sitting on top. The shield is built with [...]

Building IllyClock - an alarm clock in a coffee can

The purpose of this project is to build an alarm clock similar to the one presented in the video below. Beside the enclosure, the original feature of IllyClock is showing the time in colors: 3 hours before wake-up time, color changes from green to orange; 1 hour before wake-up, t...

Arduino Hard Drive Clock by NatureTM

Long time Hacked Gadgets reader NatureTM has just completed phase 1 of his Hard Drive Clock. It’s using an Arduino to keep track of time and control the clock display LEDs. After accidentally letting out the magic smoke from the hard drive controller he decided to improvise and use a hobby RC motor speed controller. [...]

How to: LED Hard Drive Clock using Arduino

Ah…the Arduino. The super powerful, easy to program microcontroller brings us another fantastic DIY project. We’ve seen a few hard drive LED clocks in the past, but this one looks outstanding and is easier to create. It uses POV (persistence of vision) to create the illusion of a clock while the drive is spinning. The [...]

Hybrid analog/binary clock, the MK2

[Kieran] let us know about his hybrid analog/binary clock. The circuitry behind the clock is nothing too new. An Arduino combined with a Chronodot to produce an accurate clock. What we really enjoyed however was the creative implementation of an old British Telecom Linesman’s Multimeter as the case. The analog meter acts as the seconds [...]
