It’s infinitely more capable than a commercial 8-segment LED clock. You can also easily connect it to any backend, whether to pull data or integrate with some other app or system. This solution doesn’t have to be just a clock it can be anything you can imagine with Javascript. As you might know, if you have Javascript and a web canvas, you can very easily make any app to draw anything you want on the screen. The “clock” that you see on the Raspberry Pi’s display, however, is really just a browser canvas (chromium browser), with Javascript painting the text. Commercial 8-segment LED clocks could have cost about 4 to 5 times that of a Raspberry Pi based system connected to a monitor at the equivalent “font size”. This project originally started as a proof-of-concept to use simple hardware as an alternative to commercial LED clocks. Blessed with newer hardware and better software, the current version is quite capable and simple to implement. There has been several iterations of “updates”. Note: Don't forget to choose ARM as a solution platforms next to the run button.We’ve had a Raspberry Pi based clock display at work for many years, and even more prior to that using another embedded PC hardware.

Run on remote machine which you have to add the machine's IP address.

There are two options to run the project: Use this link to add FindSystemTimeZoneById input:

TimeTextBlock2.Text = germanyTime.ToString().Split(' ') + " "+germanyTime.ToString().Split(' ').ToLower() ĭateTextBlock2.Text = germanyTime.ToString().Split(' ') Var info1 = TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById("Central European Standard Time") ĭateTimeOffset germanyTime = TimeZoneInfo.ConvertTime(localServerTime, info1) You need to setup the API key on HourelyWeather.cs, WeatherMapProxy.cs, and SevenDays.cs To get access to weather API you need an API key: File -> New -> Project -> Windows Universal -> Blank App (Universal Windows).If you want to create a new project and copy and past the code, you need to follow these steps: Right click on the Solution, choose Build Solution.Please follow the steps to run the project on your pc: Note: You have to format your SD card (using SDFormatter) before installing Windows 10 IoT Visual Studio 2017 (Community Edition - Free)įirst you need to install Windows 10 IoT on Raspberry Pi 3: (Optional) a Case for the Official Raspberry Pi 7" Touchscreen Display - Adjustable angle ( )Ī Raspberry Pi running Windows 10 IoT Core
