Keeping the Time #2

Open WillScottJackson opened 11 years ago

I've considered perhaps having the unit connected to a headless Raspberry Pi which will ensure that the time is up to date by sending a message of sorts with the correct time.

The current plan is to write an application C# which will get the current system time of the host PC and send it to the Arduino so that it can update the display. The message will go over serial in the form of a few bytes, these will then be interpreted and sent to the seven segment display strip.
