No kidding. I was looking for a suitable application to demo with Wise Clock 4 placed vertically (that is, standing on its shortest side), when I found this hackaday post  about Tetris on a LED matrix. The code, already written for Arduino, clean and easy to understand (kudos to Jianan ), was a breeze to port . I only had to change a few functions (display, user buttons), comment out a few more (sound, text etc) and downsize from 7 colors to just 3. Commands come from Bluetooth terminal ("BlueTerm" app on Android), basically replacing the buttons with letters (U, R, L, D; you got the idea). The Wise Clock 4 vertical stand is possible thanks to the enclosure-mounted power jack, wired to the display's screw terminals, as shown in the photo below (that also captures a part of my messy desk). (This is a typical example of how one thing leads to another. I don't usually play games, but when I do, I use my implementations. "Time well wasted", as the saying goes.

Some of the latest software features have already been introduced ( see this post ). Since then, a few bugs have been fixed (again, thanks Mike!), the code was streamlined even more, and some apps (Countdown, Score, Stopwatch, Quote) have been expanded and improved. Below is a list of the most recent code changes: added PWRON setup option to select app to run when the clock starts up; compilations options (add/remove features) moved to file "UserConf.h". That is: - Instead of editing WiseClock.cpp to select applications to build, edit "UserConf.h". - Instead of editing WiseClockVer.h to select WiseClock 3 or 4, edit "UserConf.h". - Instead of editing HT1632.h to select the number of displays, edit "UserConf.h". on dual display, Countdown includes days as well, in the format DD:HH:MM:SS; Countdown shows the correct amount of time left even if power was down for a while (this is done by saving the end time in eeprom); for this feature, the PWRON m

I was having a conversation with my friend JohnW, a Mechanical Engineer by education and trade, about his latest "small" project. I suggested he should publish and document aspects of his interesting work. But he mentioned he does not have a blog just yet, so I "volunteered" to do it for him right here, as a quick (and hopefully useful) example. John designed a portable agitator , a device used for mixing low-viscosity liquids or liquids with small-size solids. Mixing is performed by a propeller driven by an internal pneumatic system, and not using an electrical motor, as shown in the diagram below. The whole contraption is made of plastic, calculated for a maximum internal pressure of 80 psi. The liquids are poured in manually, through PRV-07 (features a screw-in lid). The mixed liquid is released through the pinch-valve PRV-06. The lid PRV-01 can be removed (8 screws) for inside cleaning. The mixing capacity is 1 gallon, but it can be easily scaled, in both dimens

I just finished assembling the latest version of akafugu VFD clock , the " MK2 ". Per, from akafugu, generously sent me the board for testing/review. It comes will all SMD components pre-soldered, and the processor pre-programmed. The rest of the components, all through-hole, I sourced on my own. Here is a photo of the kit as I put it together (I forgot to include the through-hole resistors though). Assembling was straightforward thanks to the combination of good board design and easy-to-follow instructions. The result is shown in the photo below. MK2 has some improvements over version 1: - newer processor ( Atmega32U4 , as the one used in Leonardo ); - 5V power source (vs 9V previously); - direct sketch upload from Arduino IDE ( no hacking required ); - integrated support (on-board 24LC256 eeprom) for four-letter-word feature; - all SMD parts (quite a few actually) come pre-soldered; - directly compatible with the existing (version 1) VFD display shields; - better clearance

Inspired by this article , MikeM added the " Close enough " mode to the functionality of Wise Clock 4 . This new "face" is accessed by pressing the "Set" (middle) button inside the application "BIG". The time is shown as an approximation, with the hours as an explicit number, the minutes filling the circle of  a 60-minutes clock and the passing seconds represented by a moving red dot on the bottom line. Thus, one can tell time with a 5-minutes "precision" at a very quick glance. I will soon publish a new software release that will include this mode. It will also include some other changes I've done recently: moved some "app" functionality out of the main class (WiseClock.cpp) into their own separate classes (AppDemo, AppPacman); will probably need to re-organize WiseClock.cpp, since it almost grew beyond a manageable size (currently at 103KB); in dual-display mode (64x16 resolution), extended AppCountdown to include days i
