Using the 1Sheeld and Arduino, I can access the internet and check the traffic time duration (every 5 minutes) to my home and glow the clock green if traffic is clear, or red if is horrible 😀 ...

To make things a little easier on yourself, Arduino shield-maker 1Sheeld shows off how to hack a clock to change color depending on traffic conditions.

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.

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.

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.

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 ...
