LEGO Batman Clock Hack
Over on the For Toffee blog, a great build hacking a Lego Batman clock to be much more useful:
Inspired by Dan Aldred‘s LEGO Clock hacks (http://www.tecoed.co.uk/darth-beats.html and http://www.tecoed.co.uk/yoda-tweets.html) I picked up a broken Batman clock from eBay for some hacking shenanigans. I had several aims, based on the great work of Dan before me
- Add a Pimoroni Scroll pHAT HD, which would allow both text and graphics to be displayed
- Attempt to retain the existing button board
- See if the on board piezo was usable
- Light the white eyes behind the cowl
Based on a Raspberry Pi Zero, he adds an Adafruit Micro USB Breakout for USB with the display being a Pimoroni Scroll pHAT HD.
See the blog post for the details and lots of pictures.
