LED Matrix Clock LABUBU

LED Matrix Clock LABUBU

Author: Adafruit Industries June 11, 2025 Duration: 1:39
You can build a 3D printed IoT alarm clock using CircuitPython and electronics from Adafruit. Guide: https://learn.adafruit.com/led-matrix-alarm-clock This LED matrix alarm clock is inspired by the cute plush toy monsters LaBuBu by Pop Mart. It gets time from the internet and features sound effects, brightness dimming for night time and cute animations like winking eyes. The clock is powered by an Adafruit QT Py ESP32-S3 with an amplifier for high quality audio output. Set your timezone, alarm time, volume, and the LED brightness settings for day and night. The alarm sounds are audio .mp3 files that are randomized each time they’re triggered. Scrolling text is displayed when an alarm goes off, and a winking eyes animation plays -- giving the clock some character. A rotary encoder is used to set the alarms. You just press on the encoder and turn the knob to set hours and minutes. Text will display to show if the alarm is On or Off.

Every week, the team at Adafruit Industries dives into the tangible world of creation with their 3D Printing Projects podcast. Hosts Noe Ruiz and Pedro Ruiz guide you through the entire process of bringing a new idea to life, from initial concept in CAD software to the final, functional print. This isn't just theory; it's a hands-on audio workshop where you'll hear the details behind designing and fabricating practical items like custom electronic enclosures, detailed cosplay components, and clever camera modifications. The discussion focuses on the intersection of digital design and DIY electronics, offering clear explanations and project-specific insights that are valuable for both beginners and experienced makers. By listening, you gain a deeper understanding of how to integrate 3D printing into your own work, learning about material choices, design considerations, and troubleshooting along the way. The consistent weekly format means there's always a fresh, detailed project to explore, making this podcast a reliable source of inspiration and technical knowledge for anyone interested in the expanding possibilities of desktop manufacturing.
