Pi Zero Binary Clock

5 Oct 2016

I’ve had a Unicorn pHAT sitting in a box for a while, but I finally used it in a simple project. Because it has four rows of LEDs, I thought it would be ideal to make a binary clock from.

A script fetches the time, converts it to binary and lights up the matching pixels on the LED matrix. Because the matrix has RGB LEDs, any colour can be used

You can find the full post and code on my blog: Binary Clock – Frederick Vandenbosch

I think the issue with this post is resolved, but the bug that caused the issue is not. This has revealed a bug in our community code, which I'll discuss here : Re: Blog incorrectly given Language…

Yay! Just my luck It's appearing in my authored posts now.

Thanks for the detailed explanation Dudley, it makes more sense now! Hopefully, you manage to recover whatever has been lost.

Ooookay. Worked out * some * of what happened here. It seems that the language of the blog post was set to Norwegian. We have code that pushes down the relevance of posts that are not in your language, and I think it must be misbehaving and made it disappear instead.

I'm going to see if I can reproduce this on one of our test systems.

I * think * this should all be okay now, let me know if you have more problems
