About this code

The Most Useless Clock in the World is being converted to run on cheaper hardware but the new software is still a work in progress. Until it is complete, the clocks I make will run this software.

Hardware setup

  • Your Pico W should have a reset button on it
  • DST setting button goes to GPIO 11
  • Segment drives on GPIOs 16,17,18,19,20,21,22
  • Column drives on GPIOS 12,13,14,15
  • Master output control transistor goes to GPIO 10 (optional as this code doesn't use brightness control at all)

How to use

  • Download the shittiest IDE of all time (Thonny)
  • Connect Raspberry Pi Pico W to your computer
  • Upload this sourcecode to the Pico using Thonny
  • Change config.py with your Wi-Fi credentials and UTC offset
  • Reboot the Pico
  • If your clock displays the time, congratulations, it worked

Toggling DST

Hold the DST button on power on/reset. Clock will toggle DST and display new setting ("DST ON" or "DST OFF").
