It projects current time to the wall or ceiling of dark environment such as bedroom. Nikon F-mount lens (lenses for Nikon SLR) and micro:bit are used.

How to make

You need

  • micro:bit
  • F-mount lens with aperture ring (G- and E- type lenses are not compatible because the aperture blades are closed without camera body)
  • 3 x 15mm tapping screw

Print

  • All parts can be printed out without support.
  • Main body : lens mount side facing down
  • cover : rear side facing down

Assemble

  • Please take a look at the video.
  • The lens are not locked to the projector body. Please be careful not to drop the lens.

Operation

  • A button to select hour / minute
  • B button to increase the number

Misc.

  • You can use zoom lens as well if it has aperture setting ring. The size of projected image is variable in this case.

Coding

  • The clock program is just a example. If you implement other function with this projector body, please post the code as a remix.
  • The image shown on the wall is flipped (upside down), so you can not use the stock character generator of micro:bit. I included digit character generator with proportional font in the clock code.
