The blue is still a bit too strong, even with a 1k resistor.. meh. (edit: progger runs on 5v, not the tested 3V3 :D )

checking resistor values. Yellow gets 100 ohms, blue 1k ohms.

As soon as I've had send the board, I just knew that new ideas would flood in. Here's a list of improvements for the board.
- bad pin planning: could have spared the RX/TX line and add an "FTDI" pinout, this way I need to program via ISP only
- add a transistor to the ground of the LEDs for dimming
- add a photo resistor for checking light of environment

I've added a size mockup with some 10mm LEDs I still have from other projects. The ones I've bought for this project look more like this:

Hi Dave!

Just add three more LEDs and do a Binary Coded Decimal 10mm Decimal Time Clock. Or do I get all wrong and the LEDs are indeed two millimetres?, LOL!!!

PS: You get an interesting effect by scrolling up and down the screen while showing the third picture with the top silkscreen mask

Are you sure? yes | no

Hey :) it's tougher to know which side is up with 16 leds though... where do you get the 2mm from? I'm confused :D I'll never need to show stuff like 88:88 with that clock.

Also tried the scrolling on a cell phone, probably not the same effect ;)

Are you sure? yes | no

Well, it's a binary clock with 10mm LEDs which in decimal reads 2mm, after all this clock is meant to half of those 10 kind of people who can read binary :)

Are you sure? yes | no

But what if it's 88:88 o'clock?

Are you sure? yes | no

davedarko wrote 10/26/2017 at 09:45

Wow, didn't see that :D

Are you sure? yes | no

I hope the PCBs will arrive fast enough

Are you sure? yes | no

davedarko wrote 05/09/2017 at 06:10

Is this a general comment regarding delivery time of dirtypcbs.com or do you mean fast enough so the boards will be ready for makerFaire? MakerFaire would be cool, since it's huge and blinking ;)

Are you sure? yes | no

2nd

Are you sure? yes | no

I believe the term you're looking for is BCD (binary coded decimal).

Are you sure? yes | no

davedarko wrote 05/08/2017 at 19:39

not bad :) makes sense!

Are you sure? yes | no
