Building The Ultimate Binary Clock with ESP8266 (NodeMCU)

Okay, I am a nerd, as such I have a obsession with time and clocks. So today I am taking a challenge from one of my friends and building what is probably the hardest binary clock to read!

This clock not only displays the hours, minutes and seconds in binary (Not BCD), but it does it all at once using colour mixing.

Red is seconds Green is minutes Blue is hours

When a bit is required for more than one of these the colours are mixed!

If you want a tutorial on how to read binary, or this clock specifically, just let me know in the comments.

Several people have asked, yes I program for the Arduino using Visual Studio, with a plugin known as VS Micro, this overcomes a lot of silly restrictions found in the Arduino IDE.
