Big digit 7-segment Clock using ATtiny3216
This is a giant digital clock, featuring four large LED displays that provide the time in a format you can read from the other side of the room. by David Johnson-Davies: This clock was inspired by some 2.3" one-digit 7-segment displays I saw on AliExpress [1]. I decided it would be fun...

Simple LED matrix Clock based on the popular ESP8266 with Real Time Clock module and time synchronization over WiFi from an NTP server. One note on the RTC module, apparently it also has the ability to charge the battery, however that's not a good idea when using a CR2032. One possible...
