Reddit user Krukerfluk has created an awesome DIY digital clock using 144 x seven segment displays, combining them to create a larger LED display powered by an Arduino Nano.

The clock part works as you probably expect — an Elegoo Nano fetches the time from a real-time clock module and displays it on the WS2812B LED strips arranged in 7-segment formations.

We’re used to seeing all manner of seven-segment displays, be they mechanical, electronic, or something in between. But what all these displays have in common is that they’re, you know,… ...

It seemed that most multifunction shields don’t have their pins of the seven-segment LED display module trimmed enough. They will likely come into contact with the top of Arduino’s USB connector.

A small STN LCD module is now available to complement the fully programmable IS series Smartswitch. The LCD's wide, high-contrast viewing area measures 13.9 by 10.6 mm.
