Infinity Mirror Clock Kit – Animated Time Displays with Arduino & LED Ring

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Watch time unfold in a hypnotic dance of light. This kit turns a 60-LED WS2812B ring and a two-way mirror film into a wall-mounted or tabletop clock where hours, minutes, and seconds appear as moving colour arcs trapped in an endless optical tunnel. A DS3231 real-time clock keeps everything accurate down to the second, and the Arduino Uno lets you program every shade and transition.

What You'll Build

You'll assemble the entire circuit on a breadboard—Arduino, RTC, capacitors, resistors—then position the LED ring behind the two-way mirror film. The code reads the time from the DS3231 and lights up a precise arc of LEDs that grows and shifts colour as seconds tick by. The mirror film creates the illusion that the ring repeats infinitely into a deep, glowing vortex. The finished piece works as a functional clock, a mood light, or an interactive art installation.

What You'll Learn

• How to interface a DS3231 RTC module with Arduino for battery-backed timekeeping, even through power cuts
• Programming WS2812B addressable LEDs using the FastLED library—colour palettes, brightness control, and time-based animations
• Optical principles behind one-way mirrors: why the film acts as a partial reflector and how to layer it for the infinity effect
• Power management for 60 LEDs drawing up to 3A, including decoupling capacitors and resistor placement to prevent flicker
