I'll show you how to build a very smart looking shelving system that includes a hidden giant clock in the edges of the shelves, and integrated LED downlighters to show off your favorite items on the shelves. 👇 More info below 👇
As the lighting is LED (using WS2821B 'Neopixels') you can choose your own colours. A discreet photoresistor also dims the LED's when the ambient light levels drop - great for evening ambiance in any room.
List of items used in this project and where to find them:
■ An Arduino Nano(x1): geni.us/ArduinoNanoV3
■ A 5m roll of WS2812B LEDS which has 60 LED’s a meter: geni.us/5mWS2812B60m
■ A Photosensitive resistor module: geni.us/PhotoresistorModule
■ A DS3231: geni.us/DS3231-RTC
■ Some Hook up wire - ideally three different colours: geni.us/22AWGWire
■ A couple of 470 Ohm resistors: geni.us/Ufa2s
■ A couple of electric terminal block strips - each 5 blocks long: geni.us/TerminalBlocks
■ No 8 wood screws: geni.us/No8Screw
■ A 5v power supply with screw terminals: geni.us/PowerSupplyTerm
■ Some thicker twin core cable
■ Some filament for the 3D printed parts: geni.us/PLAFilament
■ Wood infused PLA filament: geni.us/WoodPLA
■ Wall unit rail: geni.us/WallUnitRail

I use a Prusa MK3S for my projects and highly recommend both it and the Prusa Mini. If I inspired you to take up 3D printing please consider purchasing a printer via this link: shop.prusa3d.com/#a_aid=diymac...
Prusa support my channel when you use that link at no cost to yourself. :)
These are some of my favorite tools I use and can recommend:
■ Battery-powered glue gun: geni.us/BoschBatteryGlueGun
■ Bosch Bit Driver: geni.us/Bosch-Screwdriver

I've finally been able to start printing the parts for this project, very psyched to start building. One thing of note is that the amount of wood filament you need is quite substantial! According to Cura and my math it will come down to about 2.6kg of wood filament, so that's 3 spools of 1kg. Keep that in mind when you start prepping purchases.

@McTroyd 4 жыл бұрын

Neat project! We want to build one now. Version 2 suggestion: make all of the segments LEDs. Use complementary colors, and one could then overlap digits for a full 24-hour clock. Example: One clock digit is red, one clock digit is green, but the segments overlapping will show red+green=yellow. Lots of visual effects to be had when the room lights first come on, too.

I will most likely be creating the shelves from thin plywood, the front from white plexiglass or PP sheet and use an ESP8266 connected to the internet to get the time but the idea is great.

Question, and sorry if it's been asked already: Why did you connect the 5V rail to the 5V pin on the Arduino instead of VIN? VIN has a diode that only allows current to flow into the Arduino. The 5V pin does not. I've lost a few Arduino power delivery chips from Neopixels trying to get all of their current through the 5V pin when connected to USB. I would definitely recommend resoldering your power connector to the VIN on the Arduino

Beautifully finished project and elegant shelf/clock. This is one of the few DIY electronics projects that I'm tempted to actually create. Just need to get my hands on a 3D printer or a friend with one. Another thing to do that helps prevent the power cable from tugging off the components is to tie a simple knot in the cable while leaving a bit of slack, all inside the device. Ideally, the knot is larger than the hole so that the cable can't be pulled out. That along with the glue will give a very durable and nicely finished power cable attachment.

I spent quite a bit..north of $350 usd but I also didn’t have a soldering iron or certain things so if you have all the necessary tools you can expect it to be less. Also depends on the wooden backboard you decide to use. I got a nice piece of maple and that was roughly 1/3rd of my cost as lumber prices arnt necessarily cheap right now.

Your word of warning is pretty wrong! If you power all those leds only from usb, you will most likely kill your arduino You wont damage anything by powering the arduino by the powersupply and the usb. So please do exactly the opposite and not plug in only the usb while having this many leds connected! Otherwise love the project

@DMcQueary 3 жыл бұрын

So, I am currently (ha) trying this, i think i may have killed 2 arduinos. I am trying to put the code on the arduino prior to connecting to the LEDs and main PSU.

@MrJc1337 4 жыл бұрын

DO NOT run power from your arduino. Neopixels can require up to 30mA/LED and an arduino nano is certainly not able to provide such power for strips. Always use an external power supply when powering multiple LEDs.

@MichaelBransonCoach 4 жыл бұрын

The Arduino isn't supplying the 5v, they all share the power from the wall adapter. The data line is a not a power source.

@sabinemayermayer 4 жыл бұрын

Like @Set Kat mentioned, USB power (from a PC) is not sufficient for this many LEDs. A standard USB port can provide around 500 mA so this would mean 15-30 Neopixels (depending on the exact type) so < 1 meter. Only if you can guarantee that they won't be on at full brightness can you connect more than that. Otherwise you might fry your USB port (especially on cheap PCs, ports on a higher end PCs are usually protected).

@LoopikCZE 4 жыл бұрын

@@sabinemayermayer no, he means that Arduino output is max. 30mA. You should use some transistors for controlling LED strips.

Cool but why to use so much additive manufacturing(3D printing)? Amount of filament used is pretty hefty when with slight chances to design one can make it out of wood much cheaper. Also never trust just a glue to hold your wires in place if it goes outside of the project casing, like mains power wire. Tie a knot on the wire, or use zip ties to make physical blocker to prevent wire being pulled. You can use glues to improve and seal the hole. In optimal install never leave more than 1mm2 of copper exposed to prevent accidental shorts. On screw terminal ideally you cut the wire and solder join it together with hear shrink tube, so if future if sold to person who i jack ass its obvious that it low voltage application, so they wont just screw the mains plug and burn whole thing. So is this 12hour clock? and is there option to make it 24 hour one in code?
