Cyborg Augmentations v0.7 – Time Keeping

Clocks Suck

At least, human readable clocks do. There’s so many edge cases to account for and I haven’t even gotten into automatically adjusting my time zone for daylight savings…

Regardless, here’s the code I rapidly tossed together in an impromptu code sprint last night. It includes the following features so far:

  • WiFi connectivity.
  • RTC Synchronization over WiFi.
  • Output to an OLED via SPI.
  • Multiple displays/application states.
  • Input via a rotary encoder with rotation and button presses.

My next goals are as follows:

  • Decide on a battery solution to make the setup portable.
  • Build out the multiple application states to make them more robust and useful.
    • I should be able to manage this better by setting a minimum and maximum screen state, equal to the number of possible display states then having the rotation of the encoder be obfuscated as “left” or “right” and incrementing the screen state better.
  • Solve some more niche time keeping issues, like DST.
