This repository contains the software and hardware components (KiKad files) used by Fablab Imperia to build its amazing Word Clock!
Table of Contents
A word clock is a device that shows the current time on a LED matrix by using the word rapresentation of the actual time in a specific language and with a specific frequency.
For simplicity we chose to use a 12 x 12 matrix of letters, Italian as a language and 5 minutes as a frequency. So time is shown using Italian sentences every 5 minutes. Due to the simplicity and flexibility of the solution, it can be adapted to other languages and frequencies.
