    Description

    We love digital clock, especially the one you can build and program yourself: video by Cine-Lights:

    The biggest Neopixel-compatible Ring yet! With four of these, you can make a huge ring with 60 ultra-bright smart LED Neopixels arranged in a circle with a 6.2" diameter. Each order comes with just the quarter ring. Four of these items are required to make a large ring. You will have to solder them together as well! Also, you'll need to give these mechanical backing, the solder joints are only for electrical signals, not strong enough to hold it together.

    The rings are 'chainable' - connect the output pin of one to the input pin of another. Use only one microcontroller pin to control as many as you can chain together! Each LED is addressable as the driver chip is inside the LED. Each one has ~18mA constant current drive so the color will be very consistent even if the voltage varies, and no external choke resistors are required making the design slim. Power the whole thing with 5VDC and you're ready to rock. Check out the tutorial by Tillo on Hackaday.io, he is making a digital clock using the 60 LEDs ring and controller it with ESP8266:

     

    There is a single data line with a very timing-specific protocol. Since the protocol is very sensitive to timing, it requires a real-time microcontroller such as an AVR, Arduino, PIC, mbed, etc. It cannot be used with a Linux-based microcomputer or interpreted microcontroller such as the Netduino or Basic Stamp. Our wonderfully written Neopixel library for Arduino supports these pixels! As it requires hand-tuned assembly it is only for AVR cores but others may have ported this chip driver code so please google around. An 8MHz or faster processor is required.



    It comes with 4x one-quarter rings of 15 LEDs individually addressable RGB LEDs. Do check out another project by MakerUSA, again using 60 LED rings and ESP8266 as a digital clock:

     

     

    Technical Details:

    When soldering these together, line up the four pieces and connect all the GND and 5V pins as shown above. Then for three out of the four pieces solder DIN to DOUT. The remaining DIN is the input pin for the entire ring.
