Thingiverse user Folker shared a 3d printed project.
CRONIOS’s heart is a modern 32 bit cortex controller with an integrated real time clock and an integrated USB interface. http://igg.me/at/diamex. Perk 19 Euros. The battery life is approximately 10 years and it can be replaced if depleted. CRONIOS can also be connected to a PC so there are numerous ways for personalization and configuration. Setting the clock to daylight saving time (DST) is no problem for CRONIOS because it switches those automatically. A PC-based configuration program is included as well. Several parameters like color, brightness, and the duration of effects can be adjusted. Simply attach CRONIOS to your PC and configure it according to your personal preferences.
CRONIOS is a designing experiment.
CRONIOS uses bright state-of-the-art digital RGB LEDs. Everyone of the 60 LEDs comes with its own digital PWM controller. Hence, every single LED can have a distinct color and brightness. Its power is provided via the USB interface. In addition, it can also be used to configure the color profile.
CRONIOS can also be configured in a more direct fashion: a rotary disk recognizes that you want to change CRONIOS’s appearance—you could try a new color profile or simply set the timer when you cook an egg.
Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to. While Adafruit is not an independent journalistic institution, Adafruit strives to be a fair, informative, and positive voice within the community – check it out here: adafruit.com/editorialstandards
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
