Alex Eames<\/a> is currently running\u00a0a Kickstarter to fund his latest project – RasPiO Inspiring<\/strong><\/a>. As part of the campaign (which is already funded!), he has\u00a0shot a video of a project you can do with the driver board and an Inspiring<\/em>\u00a0LED circle. He’s placed the driver board on top of a Raspberry Pi Zero W, which gives him internet access, and then connected the driver board to the Inspiring circle. He’s then written some code that gets the current time from his Pi (which is correct, thanks to the wifi connectivity and a service called NTP) and then displays it using LEDs on the circle. Rather ingenious, and very blinky! He’s offering the kit that you can use to\u00a0replicate the project for \u00a330 (including the Zero W<\/strong>!) on the Kickstarter for delivery in September<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He’s blogged about the NTP clock project here<\/a> and you can watch a quick walk-through video here<\/a>:<\/p>\n
