Instead of turning a clock into a vintage Mac, I turned a vintage Mac into a clock!, I though it would be fun given its #MARCHintosh The program can be downloaded here: https://github.com/retrotheory/BigMaclock

It supports US/EU month day order AM/PM, Invert display, 'grey' background and alarm function, it also has dynamic sizing so it will look correct on bigger screens

@arroz@mastodon.social WOW, This is fantastic , because last week I set about the very same thing , I made the mac video pico2dvi so I wouldn't risk damaging the mac if my frequencies were off, and the images here on the mac are made with pico2. I kinda slowed down dev because the voltages need to be adjusted on the mac analog board if you are not running the load of the motherboard, and the image gives slight fold-over due to wrong B+. on the Plus anyway. This would not be an issue in SE/

@kalleboo@bitbang.social @paulrickards@mastodon.social lol, yea I think so too, it hasn't clicked yet for me, and my bouncing ball has the same issue so it must be a break in my understanding. I'll need to do more reading

@WiteWulf it's fixed, I have a version that gets data from a serial connected esp32 , but seems out of scope for the joke 😉
