“A couple of weeks ago, I noticed the hole in my monitor stand at work is almost exacly the same diameter as a ring of 24 NeoPixels that I had lying around. The back of the monitor faces several coworkers, so I decided to put the ring and another, smaller one to good use to make a functional clock using that space. As I’m also a huge fan of 123D Circuits (truth be told, I’m one of the developers). I decided to create the entire project there and get everything working before ever touching the physical electronics.”
