The idea here is to use a cheap clock from IKEA, wire in a bunch of LEDs, connect and Arduino, and then use the 1Sheeld to trigger color changes depending on the traffic time between two points.

Watch the video below to learn how and affordable IKEA clock has been transformed into a visual traffic monitor using a couple of LEDs and a little Arduino programming.

The result, which you can see above, is made using an Ikea lantern, a skeleton clock, an ATmega328 (for Arduino compatibility), a voice recording playback IC (ISD1730), a cheap 20×4 LCD display ...

1. Arduino Nano Microcontroller: This small yet powerful microcontroller will be the brain of your clock, handling all the logic and control for the LEDs. 2.

8:44 PM PST · February 16, 2011 [vimeo 19947676 w=640 h=480] DOTKLOK: Game Time from The Latest Artists on Vimeo. Like the Pong Clock, the DOTKLOK uses an LED array to display the time – and more.

Instead, Make shows you how to build an internet-connected alarm clock using an Arduino and Google. All you'll need is an Arduino Yúnm a touch screen, a USB speaker, and a few cables.

But we think it looks just as good in its physical form. The main part of the clock is an Arduino with a character LCD screen. A DS1307 real-time clock makes sure the device is accurate.

Hitachi’s HD44780 based 16×2 character LCD are very cheap and widely available, and is an essential part for any project that displays information. Using the LCD backpack, desired data can be ...
