Me and my mate Claude have been on yet another side project .

Bit of wiring adjustment, diffuser Perspex sheet on top and then some neat edging trim.

 

Claude’s description:

 

A 1200 × 1000mm wall-mounted LED clock. The digits are made of 460 WS2812B addressable RGB LEDs in 3D-printed 20mm-deep light cells behind an opal acrylic diffuser, driven by an Adafruit Sparkle Motion (ESP32) running ESPHome. A separate date and weather row uses two P10 RGB LED matrix panels driven by a Huidu HD-WF2 controller (ESP32-S3), also on ESPHome. Both controllers connect to Home Assistant over Wi-Fi for time, weather and control (colour styles, animation speed, brightness, 12/24-hour time), and everything runs from a 5V supply.

At last a post I understand.  The Avalon local LLM was rather beyond me.  Picture of it lit up please.

I looked for clocks I like . None are big and ‘wow ish ‘ ( or cost mega money ) . So only option was as a girlfriend once said to me “ go big or go home “ 

What is the code to make is spell out BOOB

 

A man walks into a clock shop and plonks his todger on the counter in front of the young, attractive, female shop assistant, as says "I need to help with this"

The shop assistant is rather quick and says "This is a clock shop, not a cock shop, Sir."

To which the man replies "Then just put two hands on it"

The first two verses of David Bowie's 'Time'.

 

Time
He's waiting in the wings
He speaks of senseless things
His script is you and me, boy

Time
He flexes like a whore
Falls wanking to the floor
His trick is you and me, boy

On another subject, you’ll be pleased to know that you won’t have to deal with leap seconds going forward (well at least for 3,000 years).

You show us yours working and we'll show you ours

Yes , yes . Patience ! You had to wait 10 yrs to see my build almost finished - so a few days of suspense you can tolerate fore sure 😎

No Perspex diffuser yet ( need a beer ) ….

Oh bum ! Perspex diffuser fits but it’s so flimsy it bows which makes the led backlights look crap . Told Claude off ! . Now we’ve got to 3d print support columns with a magnet in them 🙄
