Jake Rice can program his desk clock to display anythingthat comes off his computer. Rice turned to the ever-popular Arduino platformto create a multi-function clock display that presents time in Arabic numerals(hh:mm) and in binary (hh mm ss), as well as temperature in a two-digit readoutwith the degrees symbol. Since it runs off USB power through a USB to TTLadapter, the display could be programmed to display almost any data streamedfrom the host computer.
