These appear to already have a controller with them so to work with this project you would need to do some disassembly to remove the 5050 SMD LEDs and then integrate them into the project. Search 5050 SMD Arduino to find out how to do that

Yep, there are some pictures of the board and the wiring in Step 3. The caps can just be ceramic. The 10uF is just to protect any inrush of current from damaging the neopixels.

Yes, the PCB is Arduino. It has ATMEGA328 microcontroller with Arduino bootloader so its basically an Arduino UNO. You can see how its made here https://www.renaissancemakerlabs.com/2016/11/10/ul... If you just want to use an Arduino UNO in your design just wire the RTC and 7SEG display to the I2C ports of the UNO.

Yeah if its DC motor then you can just use a transistor controlled by the Arduino to turn it on, see the link. https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-arduino-lesson...If you want direction control then you'll need an H-bridge. https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/projects/control-...Just make the transistors you use are rated for the power of the motor.
Sorry don't have one

Absolutely. The magnet only serves to keep the lid down more securely.

Thanks!If you're interested in using a standard mains AC bulb you'll probably want to use a triac to do the dimming. Check out this post, just be careful working with mains voltage: https://www.instructables.com/Arduino-controlle...This project was effectively made with an Arduino UNO. I just programmed the ATMEGA328 with the UNO bootloader myself. The pin #'s are the same as the UNO and the code will work fine with it. Hope that helps!
View Instructable »Open with the latest Arduino IDE, found here https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/SoftwareYou'll also need to add the required libraries I mentioned, which can be done in the "Manage Libraries" of the "Sketch" drop down in the IDE, for it to work.Hope that helps

So, in regards to the schematic, I'm basically using an Arduino UNO, just one I've made myself. In the schematic I've labeled the pins as they are on the UNO (ie. D4, D5, A1, A2 etc.). The schematic shows how to wire the Arduino to the other modules such as the 7 Segement clock display, Real Time Clock (RTC) module, and the WS2812 LED strip (these are basically Adafruits Neopixels). Each of these modules will have pin labels to make clear what to pin goes to it. Do some reading on the pins of the Arduino and interfacing to other modules and this should be fairly evident. Lastly, there is just the push buttons, rotary encoder and potentiometer for controlling the device, just do some research on getting these setup on the Arduino. I believe I liked an article on the rotary encoder.Overall,…

I believe I liked an article on the rotary encoder.Overall, there are plenty of guides for beginners out there to use Arduino so I'd recommend doing some research and familiarizing yourself with generally how they work and some simple projects with them. The Arduino community is vast so if you're running into trouble just try googling the problem first someone somewhere likely has a solution.Hope that helps, best of luck on the project!
