Clocks

Validate Compile

These are various Arduino-compatible clock devices that I have built using my AceTime library (https://github.com/bxparks/AceTime).

Generic Clocks

These clock apps support multiple microcontrollers and multiple LED modules. They are often used for developing and validating the various sub libraries (e.g. AceTime, AceTimeClock, AceSegment, AceSegmentWriter).

  • CommandLineClock
    • A clock that can be accessed through the serial port.
    • Useful for quick debugging.
  • OneZoneClock
    • A clock with a single display showing a single timezone selected from a menu of timezones.
    • Supports the following displays:
      • SSD1306 OLED
      • PCD8544 LCD (Nokia 5110).
    • Useful for debugging various software libraries (AceButton, AceTime) and various hardware configurations (OLED display, LCD display, buttons, DS3231, etc).
  • MultiZoneClock
    • A clock with a single display that can show multiple timezones from a menu of timezones. The "WorldClockLcd" example is configured to show 4 concurrent timezones.
    • Supports the following displays:
      • PCD8544 LCD (Nokia 5110)
      • SSD1306 OLED
  • LedClock
    • Similar to OneZoneClock, but using an 4-digit-7-segment LED display.
    • Hardware:
      • various 7-segment LED modules
      • various microcontrollers
      • DS3231
      • 2 buttons

Specialized Clocks

These are specialized devices with firmware designed explicitly for that device:

  • WorldClock
    • A clock that shows 3 concurrent timezones using 3 OLED displays.
    • 1 x SparkFun Pro Micro 3.3V, 8 MHz
    • 3 x SSD1306 SPI OLED displays
    • 1 x DS3231
  • MedMinder
    • A battery powered medication reminder device.
    • 1 x SparkFun Pro Micro 3.3V, 8 MHz
    • 1 x SSD1306 SPI OLED displays
    • 1 x DS3231
    • 3 x AAA NiMH batteries
  • ChristmasClock
    • A clock that shows the number of days until the next Christmas.
    • 1 x D1 Mini
    • 1 x TM1637-4 LED module
    • 1 x DS3231

Continuous Integration

All of these will compile under Linux and probably MacOS using EpoxyDuino (https://github.com/bxparks/EpoxyDuino). So I was able to add them to the Continuous Integration pipeline under GitHub Actions.

The pipeline can be run manually by using the following commands from the top-level directory:

$ make clean
$ make all
