NTP Digital Clock
These clocks sync to NTP time servers over WiFi. The time is shown on acrylic panels edge-lit with RGB LEDs. The LEDs are mounted on circuit boards beneath the digit panels. The goal is to eventually make eight six-digit clocks so I ordered 50 circuit boards. As usual, PCBWay did an excellent job making the boards. Each board uses 20 WS2812B LEDs so with 50 boards that's 1000 tiny surface-mount parts! I currently don't have a good way to deal with surface-mount parts so I got PCBWay to also assemble the boards. The LEDs have to be in precise locations to illuminate the digit panels and PCBWay got this right when the made the boards and assembled them. I have tested all 50 boards and they all work perfectly. So far six of them are installed in a clock. I was also impressed with PCBWay's communication through each step of this order to make sure everything was done to my specifications.
