Titan Clock, a free alternative with Arduino

Titan Clock

There are many projects that with recycled, reused or cheap materials, we can build a digital clock. Titan Clock is a similar project, but unlike the rest of the projects, Titan Clock is aimed at large surfaces such as walls and places where large clocks are needed.

However the size of this watch is customizableIn other words, we can build this device with other smaller or larger sizes, in any case, the result will be the same, a powerful clock that will inform us of the time at all times.

The Titan Clock project has been created by the ProtheanSoft maker, a user who has posted the build guide as well as the code in a github repository that will allow us to make an exact copy of this project.

The list of components is pretty straightforward. The brain of this watch is an Arduino Nano board, a small but powerful board for this project. Titan Clock is made up of 5 numbers, one of which is the colon space. Y each number is made up of seven bulbs or led lights. Each "light" is made up of a series of crystals whose interior has an LED light, which makes each light quite amplified.

The construction is quite easy and as we have said before, the size can be modified to our liking. Every light we create will connect to the board Arduino Nano that will be in charge of turning on each part to form the number needed for the hour. The background is customizable and the led light can also be changed, that is, it is not necessary to respect the colors that ProtheanSoft has indicated.

Titan Clock is an interesting project, at least a project that will help us to have a smart home or a smart office. Also, when using led lights, energy expenditure is very low. Although we can also create a custom project Do not you think?
