Introduction

This is a dead simple IOT clock that uses NTP to synchronize the time to UTC. It then displays the time on a cheap Dot Matrix display.

When the hour changes it displays a spiral animation.

The project uses a WiFi manager to store credentials on the ESP8266. It will start an access point name ESPXXXX when it is unable to connect to the internet. Connect to the WiFi access point and access http://192.168.4.1 to configure the WiFi credentials.

Building

Connect the display to the 3.3V power supply and the rest of the pins to the following: ``` CLK_PIN D5 DATA_PIN D7 CS_PIN D8 ```

Part List

1x ESP8266 1x MAX7219 Dot Matrix Display 1x Case & USB Cable

Case

I printed the case out of PETG, but it will work in any other plastic. The DOT matrix display is simply glued in.
