Bandsaw Box

My first real bandsaw box. Designed to fit underneath my middle monitor and around its stand. Made with alternating cherry and maple. Drawers are flocked (first time flocking). I cut off the cherry face of the drawers and routed new maple faces using a template bit. Drawer pulls are made

nodejs-word-clock

nodejs-word-clock

Rough port of Arduino Wiring to JavaScript (see wordclock.gallery [http://wordclock.gallery/]) to NodeJS on Raspberry Pi. See more at [ github.com [https://github.com/wgbartley/nodejs-word-clock] ]

Ash Segment Clock

Ash Segment Clock

I had cut the panels and fingers for this several months ago and never assembled it. I decided to go ahead and finish it to give to a friend for helping me move a ShopSmith across town. Cut and resawn from an ash turning blank. IoT driven by a Particle

Giant Segment Clock Frame

Giant Segment Clock Frame

I needed a frame for my giant segment clock [http://wgb.me/7-segment-clock/] that I built a while back, so I built one! The frame allows me to hang it on the wall a little easier, and it looks a little nicer. [ wgb0.imgur.com [https://imgur.com/a/HAtWD]

Eclipsitron

This was attempt at having an eclipse assistant to countdown to the different contact times based on GPS coordinates. It's powered by a Particle Electron with extra GPS receiver. It also contains several sensors: temperature, humidity, UV, visible light. Now that the eclipse is over, it has been

Orange Agate Segment Clock

Orange Agate Segment Clock

Now this one is different! This one has a fancy toggle button on top. When pressed, it plays music through two speakers in the bottom of the clock. It's powered by a Raspberry Pi Zero W + stereo "bonnet" [https://www.adafruit.com/product/3412]. This allows

Purple Heart Segment Clock

Purple Heart Segment Clock

Another segment clock, this time in purple heart for my purple-loving daughter. She and I seem to be the only ones in the family who think this wood is super cool. The color of the sawdust is such a novelty. It's also super easy to work with! [ wgb0.

Bamboo Clock

7-segment clock with 1.2" display made from bamboo for my wife. Powered by a Particle Photon. Keeps accurate time even in case of a power outage. Also includes a light sensor to brighten or dim the display depending on the ambient light. [ wgb0.imgur.com [http://imgur.com/

Cherry Segment Clock

Cherry Segment Clock

The first in a series of segment clocks in a wooden enclosure. Being the first, plenty of mistakes were made and lots of things learned. For one, I realized the final dimensions don't need to be so big! Future clocks are much smaller with a more pleasing form

5-Minute IoT Clock

5-Minute IoT Clock

I accidentally ordered the 1.2" 7-segment display with I2C backpack this week. It's entirely too big for my original purpose, so I decided to make a quick clock out of it. Although it took me about an hour to get it to where it is now,

Nixie Tube Clock Frame

Nixie Tube Clock Frame

I recently received and assembled a Nixie Clock Kit (not my kit) for my birthday. However, there's a 180V no-touch area. With 2 kids, I wanted to build in a little extra safety to keep fingers from wandering into the danger zone. It also helps to block out

Word Clock v2

An improvement over v1 with lessons learned. Read more at [ hackster.io [https://www.hackster.io/wgbartley/word-clock-v2-26adee] ]. Source code available at [ github.com [https://github.com/wgbartley/word-clock-v3] ].

Frame / Enclosure for 16x32 RGB Matrix Clock

Frame / Enclosure for 16x32 RGB Matrix Clock

A friend designed a shield for a Particle Photon to connect to a 16x32 RGB matrix panel. This is a backing frame to hide the electronics and add stability to the panel with an enclosure over the shield. Featured on Adafruit's #3DThursday blog! [https://blog.adafruit.com/2015/

Word Clock v1

Wi-fi enabled word clock. 130 characters with 130 NeoPixels! Project build at [ hackster.io [https://www.hackster.io/wgbartley/word-clock-v1-c880a7] ]. Source code available at [ github.com [https://github.com/wgbartley/word-clock-v3] ].

7-Segment Clock

7-Segment Clock

A rather large 7-segment, 4-digit clock powered by a Particle Photon. Synchronizes time with the Internet (using built-in wireless), display local (as in a sensor inside the clock itself) temperature/humidity, and display current outdoor temperature and humidity. There are a couple of different display modes (solid color, chasing rainbow)
