AlexP managed to port the Wise Clock 4 code to Arduino Mega2560 (shared here , thanks Alex!). He made this video demonstrating it in action: Today I had a great day! I did it! I soldered a development board for my Mega2560. A little corrected code and ... voila!   Wiring diagram: rtc sqw (1hz) - pin 2 menu key - pin 3 set key - pin 4 plus key - pin 5 speaker - pin 6 speaker - pin 7 HT1632_WRCLK - pin 10 HT1632_CS - pin 11 HT1632_DATA - pin 12 HT1632_CLK - pin 13 rtc sda - pin 20 rtc scl - pin 21 (SD while not tested, but I think it works) sd miso - pin 50 sd mosi - pin 51 sd sck - pin 52 sd cs - pin 53 NelsonC built his own hand-wired version of WiFiChron and it looks awesome: MikeM sent in (thanks Mike!) his latest WiFiChron code (available here ). The enclosed zip file compiles under Arduino 1.6.8, though it generates a warning I haven't figured out how to eliminate. Ray ran into a problem with data overruns. When data in an RSS feed was split between multiple packets, so

Wise Clock 4 software for Arduino 1.6.8

Scott H. put the time and the effort to port the Wise Clock 4  code (also the HDSP-Proverb and WiFiChron code) to Arduino 1.6.8 (the latest, but maybe not the greatest). This is a big endeavor, which I did not plan to pursue any time soon. Now, thanks to Scott, here we have it . I compiled it and uploaded it myself, on Windows (he did it on Mac). The Wise Clock 4 files are all in the same " TheClock " folder, directly under " libraries ", as shown in the following screenshot. But before uploading to ATmega1284, this section needs to be inserted in boards.txt (*): ############################################## atmega1284.name=Sanguino W/ ATmega1284p 16mhz atmega1284.upload.tool=avrdude atmega1284.upload.protocol=stk500v1 atmega1284.upload.maximum_size=129024 atmega1284.upload.speed=57600 atmega1284.bootloader.low_fuses=0xFF atmega1284.bootloader.high_fuses=0x98 atmega1284.bootloader.extended_fuses=0xFD atmega1284.bootloader.path=atmega atmega1284.bootloader.file=a
