Inspired from a space lander I built this free form copper structured desk clock. This clock features a color LCD and Wemos D1 mini as controller.

I have used 1.0 mm diameter solid copper wire both for wiring and structure. 

Parts required

1. Wemos D1 mini (NodeMCU/ any ESP8266 board will work)

Buy option 1 | Buy option 2

2. 0.96inch 80x160 display (ST7735)

Buy option 1 | Buy option 2

3. Copper wire (1mm diameter)

Buy option 1 Buy option 2

4. Battery 3.7v 500mAh LiPo

Buy option 1 Buy option 2

Follow these steps to avoid any errors and be successful when uploading code

Step1: Install ESP8266 board for Arduino IDE (Skip if already installed or watch this simple tutorial)

ESP8266 installing tutorial

Step2: Install three libraries.

i. TFT_eSPI
ii. NTPClient

Step3: Edit pin definition from TFT_eSPI library (very important)

a. Open Arduino > libraries > TFT_eSPI

i. Open User_Setup_Select.h with notepad

ii. Put double slash // in front of this line.

iii. Remove double slash // from this line.

 Save the file (CTRL+S)

b. Again from the root folder open User_Setups folder with Notepad and edit like the photo below.

 Save the file and exit.

Step4: Edit WiFi name and password in Arduino code.
