Build with PlatformIO Runs on ESP8266

Verdandi

Cooperative project to display an analog clock with digital RGB LEDs.

Verdandi Presentation

This is a supermodule containing different parts:

  1. Code: https://github.com/ModischFabrications/Verdandi_Code
  2. PCB: https://github.com/ModischFabrications/Verdandi_PCB
  3. 3D-Printing & Lasercutting: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4943201

Be aware that manufacturing and assembly takes at least a full day and ~60€ of materials if you build it yourself.

Usage

Connect the clock to an adequate power supply, 5V and >500mA should be fine. We assume that your network allows outgoing connections. A WiFi connection equals network connectivity for us.

Connect to the IP address of your device and start playing around with the UI:

Verdandi Config Page

Look into the submodules for more hints on how to get and customize everything.

First setup

  1. Power on the clock
  2. Check for a wifi network called "Verdandi"
  3. Connect with it, select your network and input your password
  4. If everything worked the hotspot should disappear and the clock should show up. Repeat if not.

Find out your clock IP address

by hardware

  1. Open up the small hatch in the back of the clock
  2. Connect the wemos to a PC with an usb cable
  3. Open a serial terminal (I know, sorry...)
  4. Read the terminal output to find out your IP

Example output:

*WM: Connection result: 
*WM: 3
*WM: IP Address:
*WM: 192.168.178.69

by app

  1. Download and start any network manager, for example Network Analyzer (Android)
  2. LAN Scan > Scan, remember devices
  3. Plug in the clock
  4. LAN Scan > Scan, look for the new device

Watch out, disconnected devices will persist a bit longer than powered.
