README
README.mdClockFOUR
ClockFOUR is a word clock that tells time with words. It has a 14x13 matrix of letters that, when illuminated, tells time to the minute. e.g. “SEVENTEEN MINUTES PAST FOUR” The clock is 28 x 28 x ~2.6 cm. The main PCB is approximately 24 x 22 cm and has 182 RGB WS2812B pixels on the front. The back of the PCB contains an Arduino compatible 328P microprocessor and a DS3231 real time clock chip with 2032 battery backup. Power is provided by a quality international multi-voltage 5V 3A power supply with barrel connector.
The user interface consists of two touch sensitive buttons wired to top two metal screw posts. Modes and settings are actuated by short taps and long presses.

Questions
How big is the ClockFOUR PCB?
It measures 210 × 228 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the ClockFOUR use?
429 parts, built around the ATMEGA328-PU, DS3231N/DIP and WS2812B. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the ClockFOUR KiCad files?
From the wyolum/ClockFOUR repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad_bak/archived/C4_rev1/ClockFOUR.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the ClockFOUR design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
