Looked into this but no luck. Best bet is to replace the chip (original PIC16F628A, with ESP8266?) and update time via wifi. | Looked into this but no luck. Best bet is to replace the chip (original PIC16F628A, with ESP8266?) and update time via wifi. | ||

Have an 'original' TIX clock (YouTube video) from ThinkGeek.
Could also be programmed to display any number up to 4 digits, but the design is best suited for displaying time (blocks are in sets of 3, 9, 6, 9).

Changed out the American plug for an EU one, but the clock requires 60 Hz AC, and 50 Hz will make it run slow and thus useless for telling time.

From an old Tweakers thread: "Dus schoef je wekker eens open en google op het typenummer van de chip. 10 tegen 1 dat er een 60/50Hz-select pootje aanzit. Vaak is die verbonden met een draadbruggetje op de print; omsolderen en klaar!"
Looked into this but no luck. Best bet is to replace the chip (original PIC16F628A, with ESP8266?) and update time via wifi.
