Matrix clock
In this tutorial we build a matrix clock with a Arduino (or Nano), 8 max7219 8x8 led matrix modules, a ds3231 rtc module and 3 momentary tactile buttons.
The youtube video here above is filmed with a rearlier version of the script. This version has a extra mode to adjust the brightness of the leds.
The wooden box is a old winebox which is painted with non reflecting black paint. I used a spray can but it works also with a roller.
In the library (be sure the library files copies to the libraries folder under a folder named LedControlMS), i maked some adjustments to the fonts.
The first step is to fix the matrix modules all together, you can use a small piece of wood. The first matrix module we connect the in going pins (bottom near max7219 chip) to the pin5,6 & 7 according to the script.
The upper pins (out going) we connect to the in going pins of the second module and so we daisy chained all the modules.
For time keeping we use a DS3131 module which has a i2c bus and we connect in this case to the a4 (SDA) & a5 (SCL) pins of the Arduino. Don't forget VCC (5v) & GND.
On the photo you will probably recognize a DS1307, those will work also, but i experienced that de DS1307 is not very accurate.
I recommend to use the DS3231.
Click here for more about i2c.
The buttons we connect to pin 2 (menu), pin 3 (up) and pin 4(down). The menu button in this case is the red button.
Each button you connect one pin to vcc and the other pin goes to the data (in) pins (2,3 and 4) and also with a 6K8 resister to the ground.
The empty hole in the box was a leftover when using a network shield in the earlier versions.
