Heart Theme NeoPixel LED Clock

Note - this action gif is of the St. Patrick’s theme clock but they read the exact same.This is a cute, fully electronic heart theme clock / lightbox without hands. The time is displayed by neopixel LEDs in the hours positions with fine location being set by the relative brightness of the minute color on either side of the minute value. The seconds value works the same as minutes. The hearts in the center of the clock face light up red. It's for desk, counter, or shelf display and the power is simple USB. If desired, it chimes the quarter hours and makes a soothing authentic tick-tock sound. This project does not require soldering though there is a splice needed to add enough length to the pushbutton switch. I used “solder splices” that do the soldering for you. All the parts specified have plug or screw terminals or wires. The hardest electronic task is cutting the wires to length, stripping the ends, and getting the wires into the correct terminals. Electronics cost is about $60.
