1982 Vintage GE Digital Clock Advertisement
The image showcases a vintage advertisement for a General Electric (GE) digital clock model, with the time displayed as "6:00 AM" on its screen. The design of the device is reminiscent of early 1980s technology, featuring both electronic and mechanical components.

Me procrastinating
Does anyone know where I can get hold of a AY-5-1202A clock chip? This one may have gone to silicon heaven.

It lives!
Noticed that this uses an AT89C2051 microcontroller and some research discovered that alternative open source code for it is available! So, some spare chips are on order so that I can play with the code and change what this thing can do.
Apparently the open source code keeps better time, and code to make it be a stopwatch exists too.

I had a lot of fun building this microcontroller based digital clock...
SH-E 879 Digital Clock Kit
If was not a difficult build. The board silkscreen was detailed and showed the placement and orientation/polarity of everything.
I decided to omitted R1. It is the charging resistor for a rechargeable coin cell. However, I am going to use a standard CR2032 coin cell and charging them is not a good idea.
Una pequeña actualización para conky (implementando perl para las fases lunares) pero ahora sin Sunlight World Map debido a las restricciones de Scraping (raspado con curl) desde https://www.die.net/earth/ 😢
veré si una solución para esto aparece en el futuro y lo comentaré por aquí.
