This remix offers a variant of the LED digilogue clock using a 96 LED / meter strip, resulting in a clock diameter of 20 cm

It is aimed to be driven by an ESP32 mini-C3, using the provided RLC.ino software
However, WLED (and any other compatible chipset) may be used instead

The remix proposes 3 choices for the box:
- choice 1 : the C3 is fixed near the edge and the usb slot is directly accessible from the outside
require a 90° adapter / cable when used with the base (and using base choice 1)
may also be used for wall mount
- choice 2 : the C3 is in the center of the box and the cable exit from the box bottom
require also a 90° adapter / cable when used with the base (and using base choice 1)
may also be used for wall mount
- choice 3 : the C3 is in the center of the box and the cable exit from the box back; this box is used with the base choice 2

Concerning the face, two choices also:
- with a 1.2 mm filter as in the original model
- with a 0.6 mm filter (the model I have built, using eSun PLA+ cold white)

The spacer (located between the face and the box) as a hole for the connection cables; using the provided software, this connection shall be located at 12h (strip starts at 12H and is inserted clockwise in the face part)

Concerning the provided software, the only required tuning (in net_strategy.h) consists in selecting the desired Wifi mode and set the Time zone string according to the location (see instructions in RLC.ino, or more detailed in net_strategy.h)

The software implement Web pages allowing to  control colors and animations (amongs other)

It is delivered as a zip file. The 3 files it contains shall be unzipped into a RLC directory

The strip power pins are connected to the mini-C3 GND and 5V pin directly

The strip data pin is connected to the mini-C3 GPIO2 (pin 2) using a 100 to 500 ohm resistor (suitable values according to various tuto on internet - mine is working fine with 100 ohm)
