theCO - CO:DE trophy with Tiny RTC I2C chip

How to change countdown date

• open Arduino app on computer and connect Arduino (CO:de trophy)
• open this file (might need to copy file into ~/Documents/Arduino/ folder)
• grab unix time stamp of date:time to count down to (http://www.onlineconversion.com/unix_time.htm)
• change line 35 (eventDate) with a new unix time stamp from above step
• upload change to Arduino

Heads up

• line 36 changes timeLeft to a Central time zone countdown

Troubleshooting

• you might have to reconnect Arduino to computer every time before uploading a change

Todo:

• add random message every 5secs (maybe a for-loop) Any other suggestions?
