Summary of The Multi-format Clock – Gift contest
The author struggled with inspiration for a gift but created a multiformat clock. This device displays time in binary (3 or 6 columns), decimal, and hexadecimal formats. It features a color-changing backlight shifting from red to blue and supports power via USB or a wall plug.
Parts used in the Multi-format Clock:
- Binary display module (3 columns)
- Binary display module (6 columns)
- Decimal display module
- Hexadecimal display module
- USB power input
- Wallplug power adapter
- Red-to-blue changing backlight

I tend to have good ideas when I don’t need them but when I need them I always face the black wall of no inspiration. I had to come up with an idea for a present for Jeff-O. After a long week without inspiration, I came up with this:
A multiformat clock.
It displays time in:
Binary 3 collums
Binary 6 collums
Decimal
Hexadecimal
It can be powered by USB or wallplug and has a backlight tha slowly changes from red to blue and back.
