With Nick and thebfg both showing electronic projects, I was minded to get out one of my older Rasberry Pi's and the breadboard kit to build a clock.
Then I remembered that I had a very old kindle e-reader that I no longer use ...
Some jail breaking on the kindle allows it when powered on to load a rudimentary web browser and access a page on my website to display and update a digital clock. Pressing one of the buttons on the kindle switches from HH:MM:SS to HH:MM display.
As the code is browser based it also works on other devices as long as they are in landscape mode (I think!)
The small device (click on the link) is the Kindle clock. Above it is same clock running in HH.MM mode on a PC built over Christmas. To the left it is running on an Android tablet.
The clock on the PC can be switched by clicking the mouse and the clock on the android tablet can be switched by touch screen.
