PiClock: RGB LED Smart Clock Using Raspberry Pi Zero W

Introduction:

This project aims to create a RGM matrix based SMART clock using the RGB Matrix interface boards being sold by Electrodragon and the Raspberry Pi Zero W.

The software being used is Raspbian and the board will be interfaced directly in C. The ultimate goal would be to create an SDK for this board to create multiple apps for the P10/P6 display and finally create a nice 3d printed case for the same

The SDK will be capable of:

• Creating your own App-Modules for running different apps on the RPi

• Creating watch-faces for the board

• Enabling connectivity with REST APIs like IFTTT and so on to interact with the on board sensors

Sensors:

The project will host a number of sensors to which the "App Modules" can interface to:

• LDR

• Temperature sensor

• DS1307 RTC clock

• 3d gesture sensor from Flick
