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!

Getting Started with the Teensy

Basic intro to the Teensy line of products, with soldering and programming suggestions.

DeadOn RTC Breakout Hookup Guide

An introduction to the DS3234 real-time clock (RTC), example wiring diagrams, and an Arduino library!

OpenLog Artemis Hookup Guide

How to use and re-program the OpenLog Artemis, an open source datalogger. The OLA comes preprogrammed to automatically log data. The OLA can also record serial data, analog voltages, or readings from external Qwiic-enabled I2C devices. Some of these Qwiic-enabled devices include GPS/GNSS modules, pressure, altitude, humidity, temperature, air quality, environment, distance, and weight sensors.

Wireless Timing Project

Time for racing, let's make a wireless timing device using ESP32 wireless communication.

Looking for a challenge? Try making a 12" 7-segment GPS Wall Clock and some addressable LEDs:
