As soon as I saw this Info Orbs kit by Brett.tech, I wanted to get it. Not only does it look cool, but you get to put it together. Also, you can code just about anything you want to add to the display. Powered by a ESP32 microcontroller, it displays the weather, stock info, and a clock in a couple of styles. So far I have made a couple of custom clocks, but am looking forward to digging into the code to make other data displays.
It has a nice display to show the current weather and the forecast
A binary clock with my logo. The time is 8:23. Look at my Binary Clock build for info on how to read one
Another custom clock I designed. Each orb shows a guitar amp volume knob, with the line pointing at the digit it is displaying. The time is 9:40.
It can display a regular digital clock with a couple different fonts. Here’s one of them
Nixie tube clocks are awesome. They implemented one for this display
You get to pick five stocks to display. I am bewildered by the price of bitcoin
