Need some inspiration for your next project? Check out some of these related tutorials tagged with time! Instead of a GPS module, try using a Real Time Clock (RTC) or grabbing the current time from the Internet. Or modify the code to display the time using addressable LEDs or an RGB matrix panel. Want to save your LCD or micro OLED from burn-in? Try adding code to turn off the display and wake it up using a distance sensor. Better yet, make an analog clock made out of LuMini LED Rings!

Wireless Remote Weather Station with micro:bit
Monitor the weather without being exposed to it through wireless communication between two micro:bits using the radio blocks! This is useful if your weather station is installed in a location that is difficult to retrieve data from the OpenLog. We will also explore a few different ways to send and receive data.
