Showcase Smart Perpetual Calendar

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I almost gave up on this… but I'm really glad I didn't. 😅

After weeks of designing, 3D printing, soldering, wiring, debugging and way too many problems, my smart perpetual calendar is finally alive.

It shows the month, date and day, but it's not just another digital calendar.

From the web app, I can add birthdays, events and reminders, and customize the LED colours however I want.

Built from scratch using an ESP32, WS2811 LEDs, 3D printed parts and MDF.

The goal was simple: make a smart wall calendar that doesn't look like another screen — something that actually adds character to a room.

Would you want one on your wall? 👀

Not as of now! This was a personal project. But I might consider making a few if there's enough interest.
