esterday I got a day off usual chores and joined a 'word clock'
orkshop at my local fablab. This has been a nice and relaxing
fternoon and the result after 5 hours of soldering, cutting and
alking to the others I hold a nice word clock in my hand.
n case you don't know what a word clock is: It's a clock where the
ime is displayed using words that are lit through leds behind a
tenciled frame. The ones we have built are similar to this one[0].
ine has RGB leds and a RTC and is controlled via a IR remote.
t still has some downsides though: I don't like having to set the
ime with the remote in case the support battery is dead or DST comes
nd goes. I also don't like the fact that the software on it does
ot adjust the brightness of the leds.
o my current plans are to add a photoresistor and a DCF77[1] module
o it, so it will adjust itself properly in the future.
lso I still have some DHT sensonsr laying around so why not display
he temperature upon request?
o many things to do build, so little time.
