Tix LED Clock

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

A great looking clock that is relatively easy to build (out of wood at least) at a reasonable price point.  The Tix LED Clock seems to no longer be available.  There is a site (AP Digital light: Wood block LED clock) that shows how to make it but they use "left over" parts that they had on hand.  An Element14 friendly version would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi There, Old message I know, but I'd like to inform you that a new Tix Clock is available at www.tixclock.shop Full RGB Display - Pattern Selectable - Battery Backup and automatic brightness.

    Interesting, I am just working on a Tix design now image

     

    For a prototype I am using addressable RGB LEDs, not something Element14 have. I am also doing a design for RGB LEDs for use in a large version which may of more interest.

     

    Update:

    I designed a mono-colour version using an Arduino Mini as controller. The size is 10x5cm to allow for cheap fabrication, but the LEDS can also be mounted externally e.g. on strip board, and connected via ribbon cable.

    Well I made one and used it for a while, now packed in a box somewhere.

    However, it appears that I published the design at https://github.com/bobc/LED_Clock_AM which is probably the most recent version.

    Maybe sometime I will get round to updating it.

    This is amazing! Looks like you published everything. Now I just have to figure out how to make these. (my first time doing anything with microcontrollers or code. I have soldering experience, but only basic understanding of what-is-what) Could I hit you up if I run against a wall?
