Do you like this video? Please consider buying me a coffee, thank you! www.buymeacoffee.com/upir

Well done, nice project. Will give my try on it

[@upir_upir]

Thank you!

[@andymouse]

That's a great looking clock, I was trying to think of a way to showcase the veneer on the front, maybe scroll the time up and off for a short while then bring it back down..Dunno but plenty of food for thought !....cheers.:)

[@upir_upir]

Thank you for your comment. Right after posting the video, I have noticed that I haven´t actually showed how it looks like when the display is not showing anything.. my bad! Anyway, good luck with your projects!

One more thing about the laser - if you join the "Atezr" Facebook group, you can apparently win some monthly prizes...

Great video, thanks for sharing ☺

Very nice!

Using a gpio pin as a power supply is really not recommended since it can only provide around 20mA which might be enough for this application but could damage the Arduino if more current flows through

[@upir_upir]

Agreed, but the power consumption of the RTC module is most likely super-low, considering that it could operate on single coin battery for a year or so...

[@BinuMadhav.NetWork]

Excellent work, well narrated. Learned more. Please do a video about the arduino emulator software.

[@upir_upir]

Thank you for your nice words, I´m glad it was helpful. If by the arduino emulator you mean WOKWI, I use it in almost every Arduino video. Do you have any specific questions regarding this tool?

[@imranics1142]

Hi brother good work 👍 , you did a great job 👏

[@upir_upir]

Thank you, I’m glad you like it!

The wood was nicest!

[@upir_upir]

Which wood? :)

Wow. I love the looks of that clock. Maybe make a version with an ESP32 and let it get the time from a NTP time server by using the WIFI connection? Also. Why did you need to create another 5 volt power supply pin (@14:00)? Can you not put the together with the +5V ??

[@upir_upir]

Thank you, I’m glad you like it. Yes, using Wi-Fi enabled microcontroller and getting time that way would be a next logical step. As for the power supply, you can use the same 5V pin for both, but it might be challenging with standard jumper wires.

Nice project! Do you have a link to the white squared pixels led modules used in the video?

[@CodyThierauf]

You mean the LED matrix that's linked in the desription?

[@efe-fi6hl]

@@CodyThierauf Linked product only has red, blue and green color options available and pixels are circular

[@upir_upir]

Unfortunately the white square pixels are out of stock for now, or at least I cannot find them. I will keep looking and send you a link once I find something.

[@thereoncewasaname]

@@upir_upir did you find it or very similar product

[@upir_upir]

@@thereoncewasaname Yes, here is the link:

[@erolcoin6103]

Congratulations, great job, I have a question, where can I buy the square LED panel in 10.28?

[@upir_upir]

I bought it from AliExpress, search for "8x8 Square Matrix Red LED Display Dot Module". It´s together with the PCB module, but it´s cheap so you can just use the display alone. Hope it was helpful!

[@thereoncewasaname]

can we get the link to the exact module your using in your video.I couldn't find it on aliexpress,

[@mitchellstrobbe7779]

Can the -pinmode(pin#, HIGH) - power supply method supply as much current as the 5v pin or can you only do this for very low power modules

[@CoPoint]

Just went digging a bit at the Arduino website: the official limits of the processor (where all the power would be going through, in this case) are max. 40mA per single pin, max. 200mA over all pins (the lower you can keep it the better, in both cases), or in short: something like the RTC module is OK, but the LED matrix modules may pull a bit too much for that method - so maybe better feed those from the 5V on the board 😉👍...

[@upir_upir]

Thank you for providing the answer for me. Yes, this is only applicable to low-power modules, definitely not possible for something like the matrix display.

[@electromatic138]

Threading in arduino, idk if it exists?

[@upir_upir]

I think that someone implemented something similar. What do you need it for?

How to make clock 12hour not 24

[@upir_upir]

hour = hours % 12
