Hi Jon, that’s really cool! It’s very retro and it really looks as if it comes right from the 50s. The flicker and fade definitely create that atmosphere. We’ve already tested your software version and like it a lot 🙂
As for the buzzer: you can replace the buzzer by any loudspeaker.
Now that you mention it, you’re right about the zero. Our media are also dominated by American films and series. You’ve seen that so often but it remains a subconscious thing you’re not thinking of.
We’re in good company, though. This also happens the other way round. 😉 Clocks from the anglophone world have three letters for the days of the week (Mon, Tue…). In the German-speaking area you only need two ones, though (Mo, Di…). Three letters are simply not used.
The combination of these systems is not a good idea. There are clocks with three letters that show you the German names of the days. Seriously, there were patients in hospitals in the UK who got a panic attack because they were completely irritated by the clock displaying the first three letters of „Dienstag“ (Tuesday).Well, fun is the most important thing! But don’t forget that you’re a little Germanic, too 😉 On a more serious note: Getting the sound right when you have a text that was written by someone else is always difficult. We’re so lucky that we don’t need to translate Shakespeare/Goethe… The best strategy is to understand the meaning and, if necessary, diverge from the original wording if it just doesn’t sound right. When we translate our stuff we have the problem that the language people are not the tech experts. It’s always a lot of fun to figure out what the right terminology is. „Lauflicht“ happens to be a personal favorite of our translator as well.
Thank you so much!!! We know that translations take a lot of time and are a lot of work so we appreciate all the effort. We have finished shipping the orders that were placed until June. So we finally have a little more time to have a look at your work 🙂
Hi Peter, thanks for your post. That’s a cool idea! We haven’t thought of this. It’s nice to have two different display options.
Hi Doug,
thanks for this file. It’s awesome work. We like it very much. Thanks for your praise. Our team invested a lot of work in the clock and its concept and we’re always happy when there is someone who likes it – and even more so when someone has a lot of fun!
As for the bugs you mentioned: Vanessa had a look at your file and took care of them. She said that you’ve done very good work.
We posted the new combined file here. Of course, we’d love to hear your feedback on this.
https://www.led-genial.de/LED-Basic-DownloadsWe will put a link to this new file in our FAQ and we will share the news on Youtube where many users asked for the changes you’ve made so more people find out about your nice work!
Thanks a lot!
