This strange clock use the Fibonacci seque … This strange clock use the Fibonacci sequence to display time.
Each square represents a value of the sequence. We must add the square's values to get the hour and the minutes. Hours are red squares, minutes are green squares and blue squares count for hour and minutes.d blue squares count for hour and minutes. +

This version is base on an Arduino UNO board.
This project use a addressable RGB LEDs strip. It enable to control color and intensity of each LED individually, using only one control pin on the Arduino.using only one control pin on the Arduino. +

Cut 4 plywood board for outside walls, 2 o … Cut 4 plywood board for outside walls, 2 others for bottom and double-bottom, and 4 littles more for inside walls to split squares. Dimensions are the following :
For outside walls :
* 2 boards 85mm * 221mm
* 2 boards 85mm * 138mm
for bottom and double-bottom :
* 2 boards 128mm * 211mm
for inside walls:

Weld with small wires with good length, to place them into squares, as shown on the picture.
Then glue the strip on the wood board of the double-bottom.

Wait until the glue dries. (20 min minimum) +, Once dry, glue the separations. +, Prepare now the other side of the double-bottom :
To fix the electronic board, and avoid screw exceed from the wood board, we add wood thickness where we want to place the electronic board. +, Put small pre-holes for the srew, then fix the arduino board on the double-bottom. +, Follow the given scheme to weld wires. I tape wires in order that they stay in place.

How to read time ?
Squares have values of the Fibonacci sequence :
1 1 2 3 5
Red squares count for hours,
Green squares count for minutes,
and blue squares count for both hours and minutes.
We get hours and minute by addition of the matching squares values. For minutes the values must be multiplied by 5, because the clock count by 5 minutes steps.
Exemple, on the below picture :
We addition red and blue squares for hours, it gives :
1 + 3 + 5 = 9h
and green and blue squares for minutes, multiplied by 5, it gives :
(1 + 1 + 3 ) * 5 = 25min
It is so 9:25
(1 + 1 + 3 ) * 5 = 25min
It is so 9:25 +
