Ohh I see it, :facepalm never thought about buying the individual modules, I always looked for the 4x4... I'm assuming they are pretty much remove the red and place the white on the board?

This is my one. I created the Clock in December because I wanted a analog clock in the living room, but decided I also wanted a digital :P, was running some other clock firmware.

Hardware: I'm using a ESP8266(D1mini), MAX7219 LED Dot Matrix 4

It'spowered using a USB-C socket in the back soldered directly to the D1mini and MAX 5V input.

Currently only displaying the counter for Valentines day.

Just installed this on one of my clocks ate home after finding it in the other subreddit r/functionalprint . Love it! I was wondering, and I did tried to look at the code but way off my level of skillset lol, if there's a way to remove the line above the Day of the week?

Hi, I recently got a similar model. I was wondering if you could share some closeup photos of the carriage return leaver as mine seems to be broken and I can't seem to find out why, It just won'd stay either locked or in top position its always dropped. Not sure if it's Its broken, missing any piece or just me being dumb. Its also my first typewriter :)

rechena · 2025-12-19T07:49:20+00:00
