RGB Box Clock

This is a clock and decorative RGB Led Matrix

It's controlled by a Colorduino Shield and NodeMCU v3 Board using i2C communication.

With Blynk app you can setup the alarm,change colors and other things.

Total Price is about 20€

Step 1: Print the Box

Parts available on Thingiverse

Printing setup:

• layer resolution 0.15
• infill of 25%
• 1.75mm PLA plastic

Supports, depend the part:

• Frontal.stl > Use supports
• Trasera_Superior.stl > Designed with part, don't use support generation.
• Trasera_Inferior.stl > Designed with part, don't use support generation.
• Frontal_Marc.stl > Don't use supports
• Frontal_Matriu.stl > Don't use supports

Once printed, remove gently the supports.

Be aware that the bolts holes are done only for Lolin NodeMCU v3, any other board will not fit into the holes.

All box printed parts must be kept together without glue or bolts.

Step 2: Mount the Parts

Everything must fit easily.

For the matrix cover find some kind of plastic sheet or just paper.

Step 3: Programming the NodeMCU and Colorduino

Both are coded on Arduino IDE

For NodeMCU v3 Lolin

You'll need following Libraries

• EEPROM.h
• Wire
• Timelib.h
• ESP8266Wifi.h
• ESP8266WebServer.h
• TimeLib.h
• Blynk libraries

For Colorduino (or icDuino)

You'll need following Libraries

Use Colorduino.cpp library to have better performance (don't needed, just change the highlighted lines shown at the picture with code)

Colorduino boards and derivatives like icDuino (is what I used) is a Duemilanove or Decimilia MCU, so configure arduino IDE to load the code.

Step 4: Blynk App Setup
