Tiny Internet Clock

In this project, we will build a tiny internet clock connected to your wifi to get time from NTP servers.

Supplies

Modeling in Autodesk Fusion 360

I used Fusion 360 for planning and designing this

3d Printing

We also need to 3d print some parts for this project. i printed mine with my Anycubilc Kobra 2 neo 3d printer All files are available at Step 1

Uploading Code to Xiao

I always like to upload the code to the microcontroller before assembly. I am using Arduino IDE for flashing the code.

You need to change 2 things to use this code

Your wifi SSID and Password
GMT offset

GMT offset needs to be mentioned in the second in the code, for example, your GMT offset is +5.30 hrs if you convert it into to seconds it will be 5.5 x 3600 = 19800 seconds

#ifdef ESP32
  #include <WiFi.h>
#else
  #include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#endif
#include <time.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_GFX.h>
#include <Adafruit_SSD1306.h>
 
Adafruit_SSD1306 display = Adafruit_SSD1306(128, 32, &Wire, -1);
const char* ssid = "SSID";
const char* password = "Password";
 
int GMTOffset = 19080;  //Replace with your GMT Offset in seconds
int daylightOffset = 0;  // Replace with your daylight savings offset in seconds
 
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
if(!display.begin(SSD1306_SWITCHCAPVCC, 0x3C)) {
  Serial.println(F("SSD1306 allocation failed"));
  for(;;);
}
  delay(2000);
display.clearDisplay();
display.setTextSize(1);
display.setCursor(0,0);
display.setTextColor(WHITE);
WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(1000);
    Serial.println("Connecting...");
  }
  Serial.println("Connected to Wi-Fi!");
configTime(GMTOffset, daylightOffset, "0.in.pool.ntp.org","time.nist.gov");
}
void loop() {
time_t rawtime = time(nullptr);
struct tm* timeinfo = localtime(&rawtime);
Serial.print("Time: ");
Serial.print(timeinfo->tm_hour);
Serial.print(":");
Serial.print(timeinfo->tm_min);
Serial.print(":");
Serial.println(timeinfo->tm_sec);
display.clearDisplay();
display.setTextSize(3);
display.setTextColor(WHITE);
display.setCursor(0,10);
display.print(timeinfo->tm_hour);
display.print(":");
if( timeinfo->tm_min <10)
display.print("0");
display.print(timeinfo->tm_min);
display.setTextSize(2);
display.setCursor(90,15);
display.print(":");
if( timeinfo->tm_sec <10)
display.print("0");
display.print(timeinfo->tm_sec);
display.display();
delay(1000);
