Hello Brett,
I have been working on replicating your Aviator clock. I have made a design for custom PCB using ESP32 38pin and second cheep ESP32C3 Mini with some added features.

Have added a second small OLED display to the ESP32C3 Mini to show digital time, and have made some changes to the code using eZtime and wifiManger librarys as its easier than changing DST manually, setting up Wi-Fi on first start.

If you are interested once I receive the new PCB from manufacture can send you the gerber files and copy of the .ino files. Have made a change to some of the STL files if you would like copies.

Great work and thank you for sharing this inspiration

Regards,

Graham

Not sure if the first form submission went through or not so here is a second try.

Thank you for the incredible work you’ve done on your website and YouTube videos. The level of detail you document is amazing. I’m planning to replicate your Grandfather clock conversion project but will likely use stepper motors since DF77 movements aren’t easily available in the US.

My first step will be building an NTP server similar to your v2 project. I plan to design the case to fit a 1U server rack slot, inspired by the Leo Bodnar Rack Mountable LeoNTP Time Server 1200. I’ll likely use a single larger screen instead of two. I’ve started gathering components and hope to begin soon.

One question: have you had any issues with cheaper GPS modules like the NEO-M6N? I’ve read they’re often counterfeit, functional but not as reliable as genuine UBlox modules.

By the way, I enjoy your site so much that I set up a Windows task with a Python script to hash the site’s content and notify me of any new updates.

Thanks,
Blake
