First iteration of the project:
- Displaying the time as a 24h digital clock using the LED strip with pure and bright white light.
- The time will be fetched from an external API so the DST and time zone will be already taken care of.
- Using the 3D printed enclosure of the clock, an ESP8266 and a 5V 10A power supply.
Planned improvements to the clock:
- Add color and brightness shifting depending on time of the day.
- Add a companion weather station (also based on a ESP8266 platform) with a REST API to display temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure as well as weather forecast from an external API using light animation on the clock.
