Thanks, I already did but I thought working with shift register is more comfortable and at this time I did not know much about shift register, therefore it was a good training to work with them...

After 30 minutes of running the LEDs are pulsed down to 50%, if you dont want this feature delete the following lines: if(counter > 30){ analogWrite(OEpin, 125); }You can adjust the brightness of the LEDs by setting the OEpin from 1 to 255 (x):analogWrite(OEpin, x);

Sorry for the delay! Glad that you managed it by yourselve! Do you still need any help? Regarding the shut down after some minutes, i remember that i planed a power safe mode after some minutes, I am not sure if it is including in the code that I published. I will check the code and change it if necessary! Don't hesitate to contact me if you need any further help!

Nice! Very happy to see a rebuild of my project! You also did a great job!

Great Job! Like your buttons and the LEDs!

Hi! Nice to hear that still somebody using my instructable! Yes you can check every LED one by one. Do you use the same components like me? Maybe read this article: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/shift-registe...It should explain the usage of the shift register! The best way is to check part by part. First make a setup with only the LEDs and the shiftregister without the RTC. And check the RTC standalone. Just init the shift register lib and test a basic where you turn on LED one by one!Maybe try this (but didnt tested)://include libaries#include <Wire.h>// #include "RTClib.h"#include <Shifter.h>//define variables#define SER_Pin 8 //rtc - SER_IN#define RCLK_Pin 7 //rtc - L_CLOCK#define SRCLK_Pin 6 //rtc - CLOCK#define NUM_REGISTERS 4 //shift out registers - how…

Hey! Almost forget to inform you, the console is already finished! https://www.instructables.com/id/Super-Wood-Entertainment-System/

nice work!

You may try to make it wireless! The smallest LiPo and some wearable electronics and it should no get too big...Greetings from Vienna!

Nice Idea! I like your comic style!
