This shield has a built-in SD-card reader, but no touch screen. The viewing angle is fairly important, from the wrong angle the display is quite washed out. The only other interaction is a) setting a “window” on the screen and b) filling it with colour data.
#FLIPCLOCK FONT CODE#
As always, the trick is finding some code which successfully initialises the display (including orientation). The clocks use a simple automatic DLS adjustment class which takes a table of start/end dates. As well as setting the date and time it configures the red/yellow bin cycle (or none) Pressing Set from time display goes to the configuration screen. Pressing Adj from time display cycles through the faces (including a pseudo-face which randomly cycles through faces). The sketch uses all but around 100 bytes of the Uno’s program storage space. There was a little program memory left, so I squeezed in a very simple Pong Clock, again using code from an earlier project. The look is based on this font Triangle ClockĪn adaptation of an eariler project with a triangulated irregular network (TIN) style face, more pretty colours. The LCD colours are appealing, so I experiment with coloured cubes. The LCD inspired me to add in some additional clock “faces”: The angles come from skipping every 4th row of the digit data, so it’s acos(3/4)=41°, close enough to 45°!

The time digits change with a detailed 3-step animation (top flap at 41°, 90° and 131°). It’s alternate weeks and I keep forgetting (this display is optional). As a bonus, across the middle there’s a blinking/flipping colon and also a coloured digit indicating the number of days until I need to put out either the rubbish bin (red) or the recycling (yellow). The time is in big digits across the bottom.
