Making a ring wall clock with 1-meter long WS2812B LED strip with 60 RGB LEDs.  (ماژول LED RGB WS2812)

 For clock I used a DS1307, which contains a real-time clock.

Driver IC: I2C DS1307 Real Time Clock
SCL Analog 5 (clock line)
SDA: Analog 4 (data line)
Voltage: +3.3V to +5V
GND: GND of Arduino
I2C Address: 0x68

NeoPixel – WS2812B LED strip
Length of strip: 1-meter
Number of LEDS per meter: 60
DIN: Digital 3
VCC: +5V to +12V
GND: GND on Arduino

The WS2812B LED strip is an addressable RGB LED strip and each LED includes an IC built in. This gives LEDs the possibility to communicate through one-wire interface.

Each LED has a data in/out pin and requires 24 bits (for each color 8 bits) of data to work.
The data is shifted in an 8 bit for green, 8 bits for red and finally 8 bits for blue intensity. (Total 3 byte)
Once a LED receives 24 bits data at its data-in pin, it forwards the data through its data-out pin to the next LED’s data-in pin.

The LED strip should be powered by an external 5V-12V power source.
by setting LED to maximal brightness, the maximum current of  LED will be ca. 50mA  (0,05 A x 60 LED’s = 3,0 A).

To reduce noise on strip you need to  add a 220 or 470 Ohm resistor between the arduino digital output pin and the strip data input pin.

Arduino libraries:
Adafruit’s Neopixel and RTClib
