I hate buying gifts because I never know what to get. Shopping feels painful and boring, and I bet you feel the same way. That’s why I decided to create something unique for my friends: internet clocks that I enjoy programming.

I’m using different ESP32 boards and the Arduino IDE for this project. My goal was to avoid hardcoding WiFi data and bypass the need for an NTP server. Instead, I’m using an API to fetch the current time from the internet: worldtimeapi.org/api/ip

CODE: github.com/VolosR/NoHardCode

Board used in video:

T-display AMOLED Touch: lilygo.cc/S8NBYg
T-display AMOLED Touch with black shell: lilygo.cc/uHFC4r
LilyGo t-Display S3(tutorial code): lilygo.cc/0cAg0r
