To make sure you have installed all the drivers, Arduino libraries, and examples. Make sure you have code uploading and the examples running before you continue to this combined code example!
FeatherClock Code
I based my code on examples from the libraries - namely the WiFiUdpNtpClient example from the WiFi101 library and the clock_sevenseg_ds1307 example from the LED Backpack Library. I modified both to meet the needs of this project.
You will need to modify three things in the below code to make the clock work.
- First, change
YOUR_SSIDto the SSID for your wireless network. - Second, change
YOUR_WIFI_PASSWORDto the actual password for your SSID network. - Third, change the
tzOffsetvariable to be the correct offset from UTC for your timezone. The code below is configured for the East Coast of the US (Eastern Standard Time - tzOffset = -4). If you'd like your clock to display UTC, simply set thetzOffsetto zero.

// FeatherClock - Use the Adafruit seven segment LED FeatherWing to display
// the current time, which we fetch from the Internet using NTP. This
// program assumes the seven segment display is attached to a Feather M0
// WiFi (WINC1500).
//
// At the top of every hour, re-sync with NTP to correct for any drift.
//
// Credit: This is based heavily on the work by Tony DiCola from Adafruit.
