Introduction: Tinker CAD Neopixel Clock
Hi guys! Here is how you can make a cool neopixel clock. Its very easy and cool, just follow the steps to make them.
Step 1: Coding
It is very easy coding just copy paste the below code.
Code:
#include "Adafruit_NeoPixel.h"
#define NEOPIXEL_MINUTE_PIN 2
#define NEOPIXEL_HOUR_PIN 3
#define AM_PM_PIN1 4
#define AM_PM_PIN0 5
// Parameter 1 = number of pixels in strip // Parameter 2 = pin number (most are valid) // Parameter 3 = pixel type flags, add together as needed: // NEO_KHZ800 800 KHz bitstream (most NeoPixel products w/WS2812 LEDs) // NEO_KHZ400 400 KHz (classic 'v1' (not v2) FLORA pixels, WS2811 drivers) // NEO_GRB Pixels are wired for GRB bitstream (most NeoPixel products) // NEO_RGB Pixels are wired for RGB bitstream (v1 FLORA pixels, not v2) Adafruit_NeoPixel stripMinute = Adafruit_NeoPixel(24, NEOPIXEL_MINUTE_PIN, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800); Adafruit_NeoPixel stripHour = Adafruit_NeoPixel(12, NEOPIXEL_HOUR_PIN, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800);
