About this project

Animated RGB Wall Clock – Arduino Nano & Bluetooth Controlled Timepiece

If you remember, we presented our clock design projects like INFINITY MIRROR CLOCK and 7-SEGMENT DIGITAL CLOCK in previous sections. Now here we are again with a different, special, and quite beautiful timepiece.

There is no doubt that you will love this wall clock. For this project, we used an RGB LED again. And a 3D printer is very important, of course! We designed and produced some of th epieces needed for our WALL CLOCK again. And it's not just a clock, it also contains different ANIMATIONS. You can also use the clock as an animation if you like.

How do you control this clock and animations, you ask? Do not worry. We developed it in a very simple application for you. You can download the link.

Arduino is indispensable. We used Arduino Nano to save space. Our RGB WALL CLOCK project, which has a small electronic circuitry, will not let you down. We don't want to excite you any more, so we invite you to watch our video below!
