Binary Clock

09/24/25 - Updates: Version 1.04

• Added animated .gif files to show what the animation modes look like (see pictures below)
• Minor code changes to accommodate updated libraries. Added the version numbers used for each library to make things easier to compile (see comments in code).
• Disabled ‘Mind Eraser’ mode. It can still be enabled (see comments in code). I just found it a bit distracting.

Yet another binary clock!  What makes this one different?

• It looks weird!  (primary feature : )
• NTP time sync and auto daylight savings adjustment
• Military time (optional)
• Case requires no screws or glue. See .pdf for parts list.
• Lots of settings to control LED color or have it change randomly.
• Optional special effects at the end of each minute: (single mode or random)
  • Boring mode (do nothing : )
  • Sprinkler (briefly blips each LED)
  • Orange Crush  (orange smack down)
  • Snakey Snake (green snake with red eyes slithers through the LEDs)
  • Beep Boop (reminiscent of really old computer panels)
  • Vortex (Inward spiral)
  • Fade Away (LEDs fade out)
  • Mind Eraser (rapid bright flashes which are a little obnoxious)
  • Matrix (green trails falling randomly)

It isn't too difficult to build, but requires some soldering skills and familiarity with or willingness to learn about ESP32 boards. The source code for the ESP32 and the OpenSCAD case is included. See the .pdf file for additional details.
