This is a wifi clock .The clock use ds3231 as clock chip, precision is about 2ppm,that means it’s maximum error is about 1 minute per year.It can connect your home wifi through the esp8266 wifi chip .With some simple settings, you can control this clock over the network.It have a funny alarm, you can choose the alarm mode, whether it will keep ringing until you turn it off or only for a minute
Follow our step, you can make a cool network clock yourself
Now let’s start making this alarm clock
Welding Principles
Components are soldered from low to high
first solder the resistor and capacitor, this is 0805 SMD
Look at the picture, Solder the components to the corresponding positions on the picture
10K*3 and 1K*1
the back of the pcb
10K*1 and 1K*2
Next Solder the capacitor
PCB back
Welding power chip,LM1117
this chip can change 5v to 3.3v for the chip working
Welding power indicator led
LEDs have positive and negative poles
The green dot is the negative pole, the negative pad is soldered to the right side
Clock chip,ds3231
You need to learn to solder the smd , it’s not very difficult
This is the alarm clock chip, which stores audio files
triode
This is used as led driver
This is the clock chip battery holder
For power failure time memory(battery type is cr1220,you can by yourself)
This is the wifi chip which is used for network communication and for controlling the entire clock
At this step, the main pcb has been soldered, finished,
All that’s left is to solder the leds and beep
And the OLED screen
look the picture,the wire connection
LED foot pin has “+” and “-“,use your multimeter detects which is positive and which is negative
Then solder according to the picture
OK,after you finished,you can set the clock
First of all, you need a mobile phone charger, it can be powered by connecting to the type-c charging cable.
then configure wifi
phone – settings – wifi
Find the wifi hotspot “AutoconnectAP”, which is generated by the clock itself
To enter this AP, a password may be required, and the password is “password”
Then select the wifi of your home, enter the password of your home wifi, and click save
Wait a while, it may take 30 seconds, until the page disappears, then the oled screen of the clock will show the assigned ip address
Use this address, enter in the address of the browser, you can configure the clock(The vedio below is another type clock,but it is the same way to set the clock)
