    Some of us are not as tech savvy lol. Being honest most people could probably do it but some people would rather just pay then figure it out. Anyone can do an oil change but 99% of people pay someone else.

    Hey All!
    Sorry for not responding, I have not logged in for a while.

    To update everyone interested - the clock works really good! Only one issue - I forgot to code in daylight savings time... So I'm an hour off for the next few months haha.

    I actually did some shopping last month and bought a bigger display which I plan to replace, and I had the same idea as @tacoman2001$ also bought some weatherproof thermometers to add info to the display, since now I'll have more real estate on a bigger screen.

    I do not plan on selling those - I just like doing things for fun and for myself, selling things to people comes with responsibility and guarantees etc. which I don't have time for unfortunately. I tried to make the instructions as clear as possible, but I'd be happy to help out on the phone/zoom if someone decides to make one and the instructions are not enough.

    Thanks, You've given me some ideas

    I've had my 1996 for close to 20 years and haven't found the clock yet!

    Can you link the parts list, for the PI for example, was it the wireless or non wireless and where did you get it? The display, if you could do bigger, which one would you do? Would the code change if larger display was used ?
