How to use the clock

Setting the time:

  1. Hold H/Hour button down for 1+ seconds to enter Set Time mode (The H button is the closest to the USB port)
  2. Digit colors will change and the seconds will stop counting
  3. Use H and M buttons to set the correct Hours and Minutes -- Holding M will advance minutes quickly. Note that H does not have the same fast functionality.
  4. Hold H button down again for 1+ seconds to return to normal mode - the seconds will resume counting and the clock color will change back to the previous setting.

Changing the brightness

Press the B button to set the brightness. There are 8 levels, and the current brightness is remembered when powering off the clock.

Changing the color

The C button is typically used for changing the color of the digits, but its use depends on the animation mode the clock is currently using.

Animation modes:

Animation modes can be changed by pressing the M button while not in Set Time mode. The current animation mode number will be displayed after each button press.

  • ANIM_NONE (0): No animation, and pressing the C button will manually change the colors for all digits at once. The current color setting is saved when changed.
  • ANIM_ZIPPY(1): An animation that causes movement through all the numbers every time a number changes.
  • ANIM_GLOW (2): Similar to ANIM_NONE, except the digits briefly dim and glow every couple seconds. C button changes colors for all digits at once
  • ANIM_CYCLE_COLORS (3): The colors will cycle across the digits as each second changes and the C button will not do much other than briefly flash a color.
  • ANIM_CYCLE_FLOW_LEFT (4): The color of the furthest right digit will cycle each second and as each digit rolls from 9 back to 0, that digit's color will be copied to the left.
  • ANIM_RAINBOW (5): All digits will continuously gently cycle colors while the clock is running.
  • ... more modes are coming!

Changing the animation mode will be possible via the mobile app within the coming months, and can also be manually set via the setup() function in firmware.ino and then re-upload the firmware.

Toggling between edge-lit and PXL mode

Hold M+C for 1 second to toggle. This is useful when you switch between the acrylic digit base and the PXL cover.

Toggling 12/24H mode

Hold H+M for 1 second.

Flipping the display

Hold C+B for 1 second to toggle. This is useful if you want to put your digits in the reverse order, to keep the buttons at the front. Also, useful for PXL mode.
