Neo Pixel LED Digital Clock
In this project, I created a digital clock using WS2812b neo pixel LEDs. The digits are in 7 segment display format. I used acrylic sheets to make the enclosure.
Parts used:
- Arduino nano x1
- RTC module x1
- WS2812b LED x30
- Wires
- USB cable to power/program/set time
- Cardboard/Acrylic sheets to create enclosure and cut out 7-segments
- Glue and tools as required
Arduino Code
The challenge with the code was to illuminate the correct LEDs corresponding to different digits. I acheived this using pre-defined arrays for corresponding numbers.

Wiring and Making Enclosure
Above is how I wired the LEDs. I cut out 7 Segment digits out of a card board. It will be easier if you can use a laser cutter.
