He used an Arduino Mega and Adafruit Neopixel library combo to add and control the animations. To see steps in detail, check out the Instructable below. It seems worth a shot if you've got the skills.

Fortunately, WS2812B used here have these two components pre-attached; see R1 (75R) and C1 (100n) in our WS2812B module. Here is a well prepared code for addressable LED strips/rings, good for ...

Snap in your Spark and upload the NeoPixel library code to light up the LEDs, make an Internet of Blinky! Each LED is addressable as the driver chip is inside the LED. Each one has ~18mA constant ...

Code is written in Arduino’s wiring language using Adafruit’s Neopixel library. Building the clock with a single Printed Circuit Board (PCB) would be both expensive and wasteful.
