Wordclock lost the 11 letters #87

Closed pizzajt closed 6 years ago

First: Many thanks to the Great work and a wonderful wordclock!

It Looks great.

Since the last days my wordclock lost the last 11 letters and the last 2 dots in the Strippe.

So the word „ES“ is missing. I used Strandtest, it stops after „GRE“

The clock worked Fine the last year an I didn‘t change anything.

Hey @pizzajt, I'd guess, it's a hardware issue: Check the soldering at the point, where the 11 letters "get lost". Possibly, you have to renew the solderimg or replace some defect LEDs at that point.

Best, Bernd

Btw: Very nice front!! When the clock works fine again, you're invited to provide a picture of the full clock as well.... ;)

Hi Bernd.

Are you shure this will be a hardware issue?

At this Point there is no soldering, i use 1 strip per coloumn.

So i have to cut the strip and will change the led „S“.

Many thanks!

I changed the LED - everything is working fine! Here you can find some pictures of my „making of“:
