You could just add a clap switch. You just set the level alittle higher before there is a reaction.I'm assuming that the noise all around is lower than whenyou clap. If that is not the case, I would advise you to move because that doesnot seem good for your health.

Maybe an alternative or challenge, but I would use neopixelleds, eg ws2812b. Is simpler and you have more possibilities to play withcolor, eg hours minus and tens of another color. You could make an addition,which has already been indicated, that when you clap your hands the hours aredisplayed.

Search the internet for WS2812B. There are plenty of providers. I ordered them from AliExpress at a time when they were very cheap, namely 500 pieces for just under 10 euros including shipping.That is why I also use the separate LEDs, but as I have already indicated, the LEDs that are already on a board are easier to process. So if you don't have too much experience I would go for this one.

santoshnarkarThe design is freedom, joy, so you can make it however you want.If you use separate neopixels you can adjust the dimensions to how you would like to make it or depending on the materials you have available as I did.If you want to use LED strips, you have to adjust everything accordingly.The cabinet also does not have to be much larger than the frame, yes, it must be able to accommodate all the electronics.Dimensions of the triangle frame is 25 * 25 * 1.5 cm. The outer diameter of the case is 32.3 * 32.3 * 4 cm and inner diameter is 28.5 * 28.5 cmI don't quite understand what you're actually asking, so if this isn't the answer you expect, let me know.

WinnerW I don't have an immediate answer but I assume you have a P Channel Mosfet and connected the drain/soure/gate correctly.The gate is voltage controlled, so check how much the gate voltage should be according to the datasheet., or experiment a bit by adjusting the resistor value. Switching is done by connecting the resistor to the plus or minus. If it works then connect to the arduino.If you want to know exactly how it works, search the internet for P Channel Mosfet – High Side Switch.Good luck, Jan

Are you asking this for a specific purpose or is it a general question?I would then think more about making a talking clock that speaks the time and / or date.

I am making a NeoPixel light decoration that displays various light effects or patterns.I also integrated the code of the triangles and adjusted it in such a way that it changes the foreground and background color every x adjustable number of patterns.I am using an arduino pro mini. Once it is complete I will provide a link to the code.Best regards, Jan

I have no experience with NeoPixels low-side switching, so I don't know if that's the right way.Most problems are caused by bad negative connections. If you switch low-side, the NeoPixels become floating.An inverter in between, what I meant looks like the attached schematic.See Adafruit's articlehttps://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-neopixel-uberg...

You can make an inverter with a transistor or mosfet.Sincerely, Jan

Marc,I don't see which LEDs you use, but I would divide thelighting into a number of pieces and control them in parallel so that a simpleprocessor can handle it.To program the whole thing, you can get inspiration from themakers of a LED cube 8 * 8 * 8 and 16 * 16 * 16 with neon pixels and / or RGBLEDs that can be found on the internet. Then you could make your own patterns,the ability to control via audio and remote control.The cubes have it all.Kind regards,Jan

Also had the idea to add minutes and hours and the construction in such a way that no 3D printer is needed. I'm going to think about it.

I see that people are worried about the consumption and the 24W is incorrectly calculated and 1.65 Wh per day indeed seems more real. But still, place an RCWL-0516 Microwave Motion Sensor and only let the clock show the time when someone is nearby or else you will turn back all segments so no time display. Saves at least half of energy consumption and your servos last longer. You could even turn off the power to the controls and sevo's.As an example for using an RCWL-0516 Microwave Motion Sensor see my clock.https://www.instructables.com/Rainbow-Letter-Clock-With-a-Full-Rainbow-Effect/

choucroutemelba,I needed an RF controller for an Arduino project. The used module was sufficient and was cheap.I had the option to purchase a separate receiver or to use the corresponding receiver.That is why I only use the receiver part.Jan.

choucroutemelba,The processor on the board has no code imprint so unknown.I suspect that it is a simple PIC with a decoding program.Jan.

Front plate looks very good and it is nice to hear that you liked the instructable.I now have a DFPlayer working that gives a sound every fifteen minutes and full hour.It can also be used as an MP3 player. All this can be set with the remote control.I am interested in the code that you wrote, so if you would like to send me the ino file, gladly.With kind regards, Jan

A 10-stroke potentiometer rotates 10 times while it is now 1 time. The setting is therefore much more accurate. You should experiment with setting a resistor to the left and right of the potentiometer so that you can make a very good setting range.Mvg Jan

Some remarks,Leave the laptop power supply in its original housing and only make the low voltage side in the new box. Resolves problems with 220V and safety because the complete power supply is safe.For the potentiometers, use 10 strokes types for a better setting.An old computer power supply has a fan and usually has a separate print with temperature control.I would measure the voltage directly on the output terminals.Mvg Jan.

The DS3231 module is very accurate and could have a deviation of a few seconds per month.When I have the IR remote control ready I will see if I can make an option that you can set the time a few seconds forward or backward.You can of course extract the entire DCF part from the code.If you still have problems getting the clock to work, let me know and maybe I can help you further.Mvg Jan

Hello WisonC,Do you have the clock working?I'm working on a simple IR remote control.This is almost finished. So buttons are not necessary.As long as you still have to adjust it in the code.I have a DCF module so the time is adjusted automatically.What do you want for what concerned the time actually set,correction with sec, minutes, summer / winter transition or total date and time.I have the same kind of question from someone else.Let me know and I will look at it if I have the time.Sincerely,Jan

Andre,Heb je de kleuren aan het werken?De lichtvariatie met de seconde knipper zie ik inderdaad ook en zeker bij lage helderheid.Bij rainbow effect valt het niet zo op omdat daar de kleur toch iedere seconde iets veranderd.Wordt veroorzaakt doordat de helderheids regeling constant iets verspringt.Opgelost door in de code + 3 en - 3 toe te voegen en xy < 25 waardoor er niet meer gereageerd wordt op een kleine variatie en iets minder snel.De regeling wordt trager maar dat is geen probleem.Je kunt het testen door in je code de regel BerLDRValue = 40; te zetten, zodat er altijd een vaste waarde 40 is.Lichtflitsen bij aansluiten op externe voeding heeft te maken met hoe je de voedings draden van de UNO en de Neopixels aan elkaar knoopt en de condensator vandaar de vraag.Mvg Jan.//---------…

AndéYes and no.All modules that are necessary for the operation of the clock receive their power from the USB power supply.I opted for a separate USB to TTL converter and it gets the power from the PC when you connect it.This is to use less, no matter how little, energy.As can be seen in the scheme, the plus of the adapter is not connected to the plus of the arduino.Ja en Nee.Alle module die voor de werking van de clock nodig zijn krijgen hun voeding van de USB power supply.Ik heb gekozen voor een losse USB naar TTL converter en die krijgt de voeding van de PC op het moment dat je hem aankoppeld. Dit om minder, hoe weinig dan ook, energie te verbruiken. Zoals in het schema te zien is is de plus van de adapter niet verbonden met de plus van de arduino. Mvg Jan.

Thank you for not responding, or have you solved it yourself.I have set up a Windows 10 system with the Arduino IDE 1.8.8There are more versions of the library DS3231 and RTClib.If you choose the wrong one you get this kind of error.I will add the links to the library I am using.Good luck Jan.

André,In principle, however. Set a consumption of 250 mA at a low light setting of the neopixels,and 2 Li-ion of 3.7 V 3000 mAh in series with a step-down converter to 5 volts,then the time is 2*3000 * 0.85 / 250 = 20 hours.If the clock is not on continuously but with a sensor only if someone is around, it is theoretically possible,especially if you put multiple cells in parallel.When the smiley is on the current consumption 950 mA.Practice is always more stubborn than theory, so you can try it.In principe wel. Reken even mee. Stel een verbruik van 250 mA bij een lage licht instelling van de neopixels,en 2 Li-ion van 3.7 V 3000 mAh in serie met een stepdown converter naar 5 volt, dan is de tijd 6000*0,85/250 = 20 uur.Als de klok niet continu aan is maar met een sensor alleen als iemand in…

With Linked togheter is meant as can be found on many sites, so nothing special.The neopixels have a power supply connection and a data in and date out.The power supply is parallel because each neopixel requires 5 volts and the data out is connected to the data in of the next and are basically in series.See link to Adafruit Basic Connections https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-neopixel-uber...The neopixels in an LED strip are in fact the same and could also be used, but I use loose neopixels because you are not bound by a fixed distance.Soldering it together is not so difficult.The power connection points on the neopixel are connected together.If you have a row of neopixels you can solder a piece of wire between the left and right and then the intermediate.This does not all have to be se…

De neopixels in een led strip zijn in principe dezelfde en zou je ook kunnen gebruiken, maar ik heb losse neopixels gebruik omdat je dan niet gebonden bent aan een vaste afstand.Het aan elkaar solderen valt op zich best mee.De voedingsaansluiting punten op de neopixel zijn doorverbonden.Als je een rij neopixels heb kun je tussen de linker en rechter een stuk draad solderen en daarna de tussen liggende.Dit hoeven dus niet allemaal aparte stukjes draad te zijn.De data out - data in moet uiteraard wel met aparte stukjes.

Hello SantiagoR68,I have added a list of the codes.From the illustrated RF transmitter I have two who both give other codes, in the list the number 1 and 2.Hopefully one of the two is equal to yours, success.The 3rd series is from a transmitter with 20 keys.Basically you can use any RF transmitter, but you'll be able to read the codes in some way because there are so many.Best regards,Jan

MarcThat is Ok, I also want to think along with you, what demands you put on the chandelier.Jan

A shame these kind of projects require expensive laser cutters or 3D printers?Not absolutely necessary.Take a suitable old PC power supply. Remove the circuit board etc and you have the most beautiful housing for nothing.With the built-in fan the distance is about 10 cm. If that is not enough, you can still replace the fan.

Marc,If I understand correctly you want to change the code in the processor.As I had indicated, the processor had no type of imprint.It is therefore almost impossible to program it or expand it with a memory chip.You could replace it with a known type (eg PIC 10F204) that meets your requirements and programs it according to your own wishes.The easiest way is to have an arduino mini pro. This has many possibilities and is relatively easy to program and there is already a lot of software for this. The arduino receives the input from the WL500P and controls the mosfet.If I can help let me know.Jan.

I'm still testing it, but I expect it to.My clock is still open at the back at the moment.

Hello,Nice poject.Possibly a tip.I Added RCWL-0516 Radar Microwave Motion Sensor.After 10 minutes of no movement, the leds go outhttps://www.instructables.com/Rainbow-Letter-Clock-With-a-Full-Rainbow-Effect/Jan.

Hello Robert,Well done, looks like my clock but something more professional look.https://www.instructables.com/Rainbow-Letter-Clock-With-a-Full-Rainbow-Effect/ It is a pity That the LEDs are so fustrating.I personally think it works well and you are not bound by fixed distances.You could have saved yourself a lot of work by taking a piece of wire at the junction, soldering on the left and right led and then the intermediate.Both minus connections and also the two plus connections on the LED are interconnected internally, so the same.If you add the full rainbow effect, the clock will get an even more vivid look and you'll get an even better effect of the clock.Jan.

Hey dancopy,I have put the code in a more readable text and ino file.Still working to make them completely in Englisch.Jan

Hey Tinker-Bel,I have put the code in a more readable text and ino file.Jan

Yes, there are still seven points open.

Must succeed anyway.

It has traditionally been linked together, but I will make it a scheme

Nice processor, possible for a next project.

Ik maakte soortgelijke met een vol regenboog effect.I made a similar clock with a full Rainbow effect.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPZ8sQ2YRM0
