I've been trying to find one that isn't full of ESP chips or phone chargers for a while, or at least one with a nice flashable chipset. They seem pretty rare these days.
- andai 2y agoThe first half of your comment implies a design from the 70s (which is my preference), but the second half contradicts that and is beyond my understanding. If you flashed an alarm clock, what would you make it do?
- averageRoyalty 2y agoThe aesthetics and functionality are key for me. I like the 70s style, I don't like the invasive elements of modern tech. I do like them however when I have full control over them. > If you flashed an alarm clock, what would you make it do? No idea, but it might be fun to get it to pick a random global streaming radio station, keep its time in sync via NTP, set it remotely from another device, use it as a remote key for a safe or door, etc. When you control the tech, the limits are whatever you set.
- tripper_27 2y agoNot too hard to build your own. Lots of tutorials based on i.e. ESP32 chips, various blinky light options. Google "Adafruit clock" to get started.
