Project Overview

This project involved forking an existing project on GitHub, unicornhatmini-clock. I took it further to add additional functionality such as a night-mode feature to dim the LEDs when it's dark. This HAT can get VERY bright so only 2% brightness is enough at night. I also added a few settings variables at the top, so it's easy to customise the clock without having to make changes to the code.

The main features

• Blinking colon between hours and minutes
• Color of text changes every minute or hour
• Night mode to dim lights at night
• Easy to change settings within the code
