Once the code is uploaded, give your microcontroller 1–2 minutes to connect to your Wi-Fi network. After a successful connection, it will automatically synchronize the current time from the NTP server and start fetching real-time temperature and humidity data from the sensor.
While the USB-C cable is connected, the internal battery will also charge simultaneously, so your Orbit Clock can run both on USB power and battery backup.
At this stage, your Orbit Clock is fully functional, charging, and ready for daily use, providing precise time and environmental information in a sleek, compact design.
