This project has been kicking around for years. Several years ago I set up an 8 zone lawn sprinkler system. You know those 24vac controlled valves and sprinklers and stuff. ESPrinkler has been upgraded to ESPrinkler2. It is still a DIY project, not for the feint of heart, but still a fun project.
ESPrinkler2 has its own home on GitHub https://github.com/n0bel/ESPrinkler2 It even got a couple of stars, without it even being finished. Its page has been updated on https://hackaday.io/project/6212-wifi-lawngarden-sprinkler-controller-esp8266 as well.
Life is short... Especially on a 4x8 matrix.

Conway's game of life on Adafruit 32u4 Feather and NeoPixel Featherwing
I subscribe to HackerBoxes.com and now Adabox. Although I'm not at all a beginner, my main reason for doing this is because I'm exposed to some random parts, some of which I've not seen before, and may find useful. It sort of drives "out of the 'box'" thinking.
I got my AdaBox001 yesterday. Today here's what I decided to throw at a couple of the parts in the box.

One of the most requested features of the #PiClock has been a Digital option rather than the analog clock that is the default.. So here you go! Config-Example.py has 2 examples of a digital clock format for the pi. I've also updated the instructions a bit, cleaned up startup.sh to be more friendly about useless errors, and added another (faster) option for autostarting the PiClock on your Pi. Ready Set Go! https://github.com/n0bel/PiClock
