@EleksMaker-Z
I wrote an email again, i try for last. If nothing will be happen or i got again a controller board with not accurate RTC, like I said i will put money and time to make some surprises for EleksMaker. Start with bigger European youtubers. So fix this, and i will never buy again a product from you, and you will never hear again from me.

Hello,

Check this topic.

That was the problem! Thank you for your quick response!

@Zax said in How to order new updated pcb:

@dnaman Have you opened it, surely you would know if it's what you need?

One is a bunch of electronics.

The other is a bunch of ..... electronics.

I realise you're smarter than the rest of us Zax - no need to flaunt it.

@Kieran thx for understood

There is a video showing the assembly of the clock as one of the early posts in this forum:

You just need to remove the 4 screws holding the bottom on. Remove the bottom plate carefully as the lead from the LED boards to the controller board mounted on the bottom is very short. Disconnect this lead and the bottom plate is now free.
Replace the controller board,.
You will then need to remove the two screws holding the bland end plate on as you substitute the replacement end with the mounted switch board on this end.

My clock has done the same thing. Started out by always running really fast, the one of the digits the color started changing/going out. Now the last 3 digits do not even work. They are dead. Pretty said, for the price we paid for these that they have died so fast...

Here is the link to the GitHub page the explains how to implement the functionality.

Parts list is included in the ReadMe.

@KenR, Well done. Have a look at my latest additions:

@EleksMaker-Z

I emailed a couple of weeks ago but - like others - no response!

It seems to me the new app AM/PM option only works in normal color mode. If I try waterfall, random, etc. the clock defaults back to 24 hour time.

I do agree being able to set a time range for it to be dimmer would be great.

fnord,

I have had success obtaining replacement parts from cs@eleksmaker.com. Based on your symptoms it appears like your clock controller board has failed.

Ken,

I have had success obtaining replacement parts by contacting cs@eleksmaker.com.

Ken,

Have a look at this post. I added a esp8266 arduino to the clock for added functionality and accuracy.

@Doctare

I too have all these same questions...

Any help out there?

Thanks for your input. I did that and hooked the clock back up to the computer and when I hit the "start" button the clock synced to the computer clock and everything was fine. from now on I will make it a habit of doing this once a month just to keep the time close to "real time" I also thought I would change the color scheme to match the season, i.e.: reds and greens for christmastime.

Hello watch fans
I have now installed the software directly on the desktop.
It works fine now.
I had to find out that the clock works exactly with the software on the PC.
As soon as the clock is connected to the external power supply, it runs too fast !!
Per day, the clock runs about 16 seconds too fast.
Is there in software update?
I will test the clock for a long time on the external power supply.
Greeting Thom
