I give up, can't make youtube in-line work to show the video...

- Sun Aug 28, 2016 8:09 pm #54027 I modified your post to make the video show up. You need to remove all of the url and just leave the video ID.

- Mon Aug 29, 2016 11:39 am #54072 Thanks for fixing the post, now I know how to make it work.

Original code worked fine but when I added proportional minutes to the hour it screwed up. Had to go to a meter face of 0-12 instead of 1-12. Clock currently shows 12:42. I'll eventually modify the face to have a 12 where the 0 is as well.

(note the permanent perf board sitting in front, waiting for trim pots before assembly)

I found that adding the minute proportion to the hour is all that is needed, you can't really see the seconds added to minute, plus technically that requires rescaling as well. Also, thanks Electroguard for the IP string manipulation for the broadcast address much more elegant than my original.

One last note, DST must be handled locally, not sure if the timesetup() function is supposed to do that or not since there is a DST setting. I may add a button on the clock to select DST by the user, not going to try to calculate in code, who knows, maybe we'll just stick with DST all year long!

Here's the modified code.

- Mon Aug 29, 2016 1:26 pm #54080 Yet another update. I added DST and Timezone entry via web interface. Most of that came from the aquarium light timer project. Not sure if I'll add a screen to set the wifi settings or not since they are in the main settings level anyway. Added user setting for the UDP broadcast port.
