balloobI made a Mario clock 😎
Every minute it will jump to indicate the time change.
It's a DIY project but it requires no soldering, no installation of software, no command line. Just a screwdriver to screw 2 (!!) screws.
The 4096 LEDs (64x64) will set you back $20

The brains of the operation is an ESP32 (surprise!). I use a special board called ESP32-Trinity that plugs right into the back of the LEDs.

The Trinity docs neatly explain the 2 screws

And finally, you will need a power adapter (updated link to right product)

The software is Clockwise Mario Bros and is open source.
They use our ESP Web Tools so you install this directly from your browser. No software needed.

They have a bunch of other clock faces too, and are not the only one that provides projects for these panels.
It's now even easier to make the Mario clock (https://fosstodon.org/@balloob/109991210216710093) thanks to it's author Jonas adopting Improv Wifi (https://www.improv-wifi.com)

The-Mentor@balloob you linked a 12v power adapter and the trinity and the led grid both use 5v so I'm guessing you don't want 12v since it will probably fry 🍳 💣 your components
Niina@balloob Is there a tutorial? My cousin's kid would love this!
@Niina See my 2 replies to this post with shopping list + how to install the clock software.

@balloob Do you have an aliexpress.COM or s.click.aliexpress.com link? The .us link is giving me problems :/
EDIT: here, this one is more universal: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2251832744994700.html
