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!
Alphanumeric GPS Wall Clock
This is a GPS controlled clock - a clock you truly never have to set! Using GPS and some formulas, we figure out what day of the week and if we are in or out of daylight savings time.
Adding a Timed Button to a Project
This tutorial will walk you through making a timed power controller for interactive projects. You will learn how to add an on button that will provide power to your project for an amount of time and then turn off again.
