EcoSpectrum Timepiece : a Desk Clock

Description

"EcoSpectrum Timepiece" combines "Eco," referring to the nature and environmental aspect of the background image, and "Spectrum," representing the rainbow. "Timepiece" refers to the clock function. So, it suggests a clock that embodies the beauty of nature and the spectrum of colors in a rainbow.

This clock is based on the UNIHIKER board, which has a 240x320 resolution display. A Python script runs on the device to display the time and date, updating through the internet to ensure accuracy. The vibrant rainbow and serene nature background add a touch of colorful tranquility to any space.
