Brian Lough | Tetris Clock using an LED Matrix and an ESP32 (without RTC) @BrianLough | Uploaded June 2019 | Updated October 2024, 5 days ago.
LED Matrix display, Failing Tetris blocks and a clock that automatically adjusts for DST, what's not to like!
In this video we take a look at building a WiFi Tetris clock, where the clock digits are drawn using falling tetris blocks. This project is being powered by Unexpected Maker's TinyPICO!
