Clock
The Most Useless Clock in the World: Seven-segment digital desktop clock for Python/Micropython
About this project
A deliberately plain object: a clock that shows the time and nothing else, big enough to read across a room. The family began with LED displays and grew to include Soviet Nixie and VFD tubes. Its v8 board runs on an ESP32 and is written in MicroPython, chosen so one codebase can target many architectures without their toolchains; the cost is visible here, because the cheapest possible board leaves the ESP32 doing display multiplexing itself under tight memory. Every module has to be shipped as a `.mpy` file or the software chokes. The rest of the material — manual, technical support — lives in the docs directory.
