First impressions, you seem to be doing a pretty neat job at coding. We don't know if you're a PC side programmer, but your style shows the way a good program code should be written with self documentation.

Hi Jerson,

Yep I'm a programmer (amongst other things) in the PC world and like to keep my progs neat and tidy.

I'm sure the code could be made smaller and more "clever" but I like to keep it understandable and I'm no PBP expert.

I've also posted a video of the clock running on youtube here -

That's different. Neat.

I noticed in the video it goes from 13.39 to 13.30 to 13.40, when the minute changed in the middle of displaying the time.

Maybe if you saved the time before displaying it, it wouldn't do that.

Seems like it could go a little faster too, but maybe it would be too fast for some people.

Nice work,

Thanks Darrel.

I've already fixed the time problem you mentioned and I did it exactly as you suggested! I'll need to post the new code soon as I also removed one of the buttons - I stole another idea I saw on youtube where a press of the btn will increment the digit currently displayed. A lot more elegant and works well.

I've got the clock running in the lounge along with my nixie tube clock and it's actually very easy to read at the current speed. It's not at all annoying either which is nice.

Making up a nice wood housing for it now.
