 Arduino Round Segment NeoPixel Clock Arduino Round Segment NeoPixel Clock

Digital clocks are one of the most popular Arduino projects, and most of them use traditional seven-segment displays to show the time. While these displays are simple and reliable, they usually have the same familiar rectangular shape and monochrome appearance. When I decided to build a new digital clock for my room, I wanted to create something that worked like a seven-…

Smart WLED Clock with RTC, PIR, Audio feedback and Environmental Monitoring Smart WLED Clock with RTC, PIR, Audio feedback and Environmental Monitoring

The integration of addressable LEDs with the WLED firmware has revolutionized DIY lighting projects, allowing for complex visual effects with minimal to no coding.  However, most standard WLED-based clocks face significant limitations, such as time-drift during internet outages and continuous power consumption regardless of room occupancy and no alarms. To address these issues, this…

Interfacing Raspberry Pi Pico RTC DS3231 Interfacing the RTC Module with Raspberry Pi Pico

In this guide, we will create a simple and precise digital clock using the  Raspberry Pi Pico RTC DS3231 Module through the Arduino IDE. We will use a 16x2 I²C LCD screen to display the information. Since the screen is small, we will write smart code that changes what is shown on the screen. For a few seconds, it will display the time and date, and then switch to show the temperature.…

7 Segment Clock Build with Arduino Uno Innovative 7 Segment Clock Build with Arduino Uno and Stepper Motors

A DIY project from a YouTuber presents the latest version of his 7 Segment Clock, v3.2C. This tabletop clock is built using 3D-printed parts and powered by an Arduino Uno, three 12V stepper motors and a DS3231 RTC module for accurate real-time date and time updates.

This 3D-printed mechanical clock uses three stepper motors…

ESP32 Interrupt Tutorial ESP32 Interrupt Tutorial

Interrupts are used to handle events that do not happen during the normal execution of a program, but when a specific trigger occurs. For example, if we write a program to blink an LED, the microcontroller will execute each command one by one. But if we want to monitor a switch to start or stop the blinking, it will only be possible after all other tasks before the…

Arduino DS1307 RTC Module Interfacing Interfacing DS1307 RTC Module with Arduino

Time is vital in today's society, and when it comes to certain electronics, timing is crucial; just like us, they require a means to keep track of time, and precise time. So, how do electronics accomplish this? A Real-Time Clock, or RTC, is a timekeeping device embedded inside an Integrated Circuit, or IC. The answer is DS1307. Many time-critical applications and…

Arduino DS3231 RTC Module DS3231 RTC (Real Time Clock) Interfacing with Arduino to build DIY Digital Clock

In the digital world today, being able to accurately tell time is crucial for various embedded systems, IoT devices, and automation projects. The DS3231 RTC module is the most accurate and reliable real-time clock module to use in your Arduino projects. Unlike low-end timekeeping ICs found in basic timekeeping devices, the Arduino real time clock DS3231 features a temperature-…

10 Segment Arduino Digital Clock Yet Another Arduino Digital Clock, but It’s Unique and You Will Need It

I know making a clock sounds a little irrelevant, especially nowadays because we all have smartphones and no one is going to use or look into the clock for time, but it is good when you are doing some work or during the workout. So, I decided to make one Arduino digital clock for my room. While searching for the clock model, I got thousands of designs but most of them were…

Temperature Monitoring using Raspberry Pi Pico and DHT22 Temperature Data Logger using Raspberry Pi Pico and DHT22 Temperature Sensor

With temperature monitoring, you can easily monitor, track and generate graphs to understand the daily temperature trends. Data monitoring and generating trends is one of the major applications in the field of the Internet of Things. Internet of Things is the capability to connect any device over the internet. Each device can be programmed for one or more…

Precision Measurement ICs from Maxim Integrated New Precision Measurement ICs from Maxim Integrated to Increase Battery Life for IoT, Industrial, and Healthcare Applications

Designers can now achieve double the battery life together with robust protection and highest accuracy for the internet of things (IoT), industrial and healthcare applications with three new Essential Analog ICs from Maxim Integrated Products namely the MAX41400 instrumentation amplifier, MAX40108 precision operational amplifier, and MAX31343 real-time clock (RTC) with…

Wall Mount Digital IR Thermometer using Arduino Non-Contact Wall Mount Digital Infrared Thermometer with SD Card Logging

Scanning temperature at the entry gates of office, malls, shopping centers, etc. has become the “new normal” to tackle the current Covid19 pandemic. While it is possible to use a handheld IR thermometer to measure the temperature of each person entering the gate and note it down manually on a notebook, it is simply not the most effective way. We have already designed a…

Fingerprint Based Biometric Attendance System using AVR Fingerprint Based Biometric Attendance System using Atmega32 Microcontroller

According to researchers from Pen state University, humans are more likely to trust machines over people, which is likely evident from us revealing our ATM pin to a machine so easily. Today, in the world where AI, Machine learning, Chat bots, Smart Speakers, Robots etc are actively progressing, this synergy between humans and robots is only set to increase. Today, from…
