Hi All,
I am having some issues with the code for this word clock. I’m using an RTC breakout to tell the time, and a 121 LED long WS2812 strip snaked around as the picture shows (I started at 1 in the picture and realize that Arduino starts at 0, stupid MATLAB). I’ve written a loop for the minutes, and it works well for the most part - it reads the time from the clock, and outputs the correct LEDs. My problem is when it’s time to move to the next set of words, the previous set does not turn off. Any help is appreciated! Here is my code:
#include <FastLED.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include “RTClib.h”
#define LED_PIN 7
#define NUM_LEDS 121
CRGBArray<NUM_LEDS>leds;
RTC_DS1307 rtc;
void setup() {
FastLED.addLeds<WS2812, LED_PIN, GRB>(leds, NUM_LEDS);
Serial.begin(57600);
if (! rtc.begin()) {
Serial.println(“Couldn’t find RTC”);
while (1);
}
if (! rtc.isrunning()) {
Serial.println(“RTC is NOT running!”);
// following line sets the RTC to the date & time this sketch was compiled
rtc.adjust(DateTime(F(DATE), F(TIME)));
// This line sets the RTC with an explicit date & time, for example to set
// January 21, 2014 at 3am you would call:
// rtc.adjust(DateTime(2014, 1, 21, 3, 0, 0));
}
}
void loop() {
DateTime now = rtc.now();

int timehr=now.hour();
