English Layout

Open JK-de opened this issue 10 years ago • 4 comments

Very nice project! It inspired me to build my own 8x8 matrix clock. The only what disturbed me on your design is that some words are interrupted or broken. So I wrote a C program to find all word combinations in a matrix. This is my favorite English version: TWENTYQR EHALFIVE N*JPASTO SSKTWONE EIGHTFIF VXTREINO ETWELVEU NELEVENR The only compromise is the abbreviations for “QUARTER” -> “QR”. Feel free to use this in your word clock project.

P.S. For the German version I found over 1600 solutions without interrupts, breaks or abbreviations -JK-

Jochen,

Hello from North Carolina in USA.

I also took the Micro Word Clock and made my own: http://pablo-sanchez.com/8x8-word-clock-with-rtc/

I used a bigger (6cm x 6cm) LED matrix, however. I also added a real time clock to the project.

I altered the code so that it allows the clock to have multiple languages built in. You can set the language by holding down the button when it is powered up. I have not published my changes yet, but I can share them with you for testing.

Also, would you share your C program? I was using a spreadsheet to find combinations and to create the needed maps.

Hello Jochen and PabluskiNC!

Thanks a lot for your contributions! Sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately, I do not have the time to properly add your layouts to the repo myself at this time. I kindly invite you to add them yourself if you wish! :)

I guess you already know, but I would need the .c file in the Arduino folder, as well as a corresponding .svg and .png for the Graphics folder. You can of course add your entry to the 'Contributions' section of the Readme.md

:-)

I am searching for a French Layout. Someone named Pablo Sanchez says he made one, but I did not find a picture/description of it.

I builded a French layout (actually a few), but they require two separate display (in sequence), one for the hour, and on for the hour modifier. I see no other way on 8x8:

Please contact me if you have a better/other layout.

Thanks
