simple watch binary light: show current time by flashing the LED as binary code #248

This is a "fork" of the simple clock face, which provides the functionality of showing the current time by flashing the LED using binary representation.

This serves as a practical solution to compensate for the weak backlight of the F91w and can also be useful if your eyesight is not the best. By pressing and holding the light button long enough, the watch will illuminate the LED to showcase the current time.

How to interpret the flashing led:

Side note: There seems to be a problem with the simulator. At least for me, it is only possible to check the functionality one time. After going through the flashing sequence once, the simulator does not react to any buttons any more, and you have to reload the page. This, of course, is only related to the simulator and does not affect the functionality on hardware.
