This release contains lots of new functionality & bug fixes thanks to Thomas Winischhofer @realA10001986 !

Instructions for updating from v1.0 are located here.

New Functionality:

  • Added alarm functionality (enable by holding down "1", disable by holding "2") (#7)
  • Support for time zones and automatic DST
  • 24 hour mode added
  • New Keypad menu for adjusting various settings (#1 #2)
  • Configurable WiFi connection timeouts and retries
  • Return from Time Travel (hold "9" for 2 seconds)
  • "Present Time" now functions as a clock (not stale) after time travel (#15)
  • Selectable "persistent" time travel mode (any changed dates are stored in memory upon reset, otherwise they will rotate preset times from the movie, and display the real time on reset)
  • Added night mode (enable by holding "4", disable by holding "5")
  • Added "auto night mode" to automatically turn night mode on/off based on Present Time's time
  • Added ability to trigger an external time travel event on another prop (io27 pulled low)
  • Added ability to trigger a time travel event from another prop (pull io14 low)
  • Added "fake power on" and off facility (TCD will boot, setup WiFi, sync time with NTP, but not start displays until an active-low button is pressed connected to io13)
  • Added ability to set a static IP
  • Show "BATT" during booting if RTC battery is depleted and needs to be changed
  • Display connection status and IP address in display settings menu
  • Time travel sequence now longer and includes display "noise" (#5)
  • Added intro with sound as the displays show "Back to the Future", and option to turn on/off
  • Added incorrect date sound
  • Added alarm sound, and on and off sounds
  • Added fake power off sound
  • Sounds cleaned up, volume normalized, and updated
  • Sound file "hour.mp3" is played hourly on the hour, if the file exists on the SD card
  • Holding "3" or "6" plays sound files "key3.mp3"/"key6.mp3" if these files exist on the SD card (#4)
  • Added mechanism to copy sound files to the control board mcu from an SD card
  • Better volume control - ability to specify volume via software or hardware
  • An SD card can now be inserted so custom sounds are played
  • Added easter eggs

Bug fixes:

  • More stable sound playback
  • Fix for flakey i2c connection to RTC (check data and retry)
  • Fix "animation" (ie. month displayed a tad delayed)
  • Integrate a modified Keypad_I2C into the project in order to fix the "ghost" key presses
  • After a time travel, entering a new date now works correctly (#9)
  • Month off by one when stored to the RTC (#14)
  • Now uses new LittleFS instead of deprecated SPIFFS for storing config and sound files
  • Fix added to v2.0 for upgrading issues related to (#17)
