A controller board for a clock based on the ESP8266 uC. It will control a 60x WS2812 LED ring and turn it into a clock. There are also three analog outputs to make an Analog Panel Meter clock (the software isn’t written for this yet.)

This is an implementation of Jon Fuge’s wonderful Wol Clock project on Instructables: http://www.instructables.com/id/Wol-Clock-ESP8266-12E-60-LED-WS2812B-Analogue-Digi/?ALLSTEPS All software credit is his. I’ve modified it to use the -01 version of the ESP8266, and added the analog bits.

It uses the venerable (and cheap!) ESP8266-01 boards, about $2 from eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171907296150

An example of the 60 WS2812 rings: www.ebay.com/itm/131594455055 There are several options available, they’ll all work.

All other parts are non-critical.
