Well, I took the plunge and bought one. There's no way I could design & build one for that price on my own. Like the edge-lit LED clock I bought a few years ago, I expect this one will work for awhile, then get wonky.
My edge-lit clock has the tens-hours displaying multiple numerals (a logical OR of all other digits; very odd) at the same time, and at first I thought something was shorting-out signals on the board but no amount of scrubbing or tapping has fixed it. I'm having a hard time believing the code got corrupted just enough to do this, but not enough to completely trash the overall functionality. After I get this running, I'll post a video. *L**ike I really need yet another clock ????? * I guess it's a form of substance addiction. At least it's not my health/safety that's at risk, or any else's. Just my electric bill. I think my clocks have gobbled close to 300kWhr in the past 2 years, according to the multifunction panel meter I installed.
