Many thanks. Will let you know if I am smart enough to get it running again.

Hi,
I totally failed to reply when I dug this out, sorry for that.
I have got a version of the code off an old USB key. It is now at:
https://code.google.com/p/peggy2-station-clock/

Note a change to the peggy2 library for DarkLine()

Several points to note:
1. This code has been rescued from my old laptop that suffered a hard drive failure. I found it on an old USB key, so I can’t guarrentee it is the latest (or even a working version) and I haven’t got a working cable to test it on Peggy.
2. The DS1307 library I used doesn’t work anymore with arduino 1.0 onwards, in this upload I have commented all RTC code, so you need to enter the time in starttimemillis and it will run off the arduino’s crystal. Once again code is untested on peggy, but at least it compiles now! Do what you need to make it talk
3. My code is not great, I’m a mechanical engineer and arduino is just a hobby.
I’ll try to be more responsive in future, sorry again for the wait.

Any luck getting the code for the Pegboard Clock? I would really like to get this great code running again.

Yes, I’m happy to post the code in theory, I just need to extract it from the entrails of my broken laptop. I will post a link here in the next week or two when I get it sorted:)

It would be marvelous if you could post the code, with a PayPal tag I you’d like a donation. It creates such a marvelous aesthetic. Rick

Any chance of you releasing the code for that? I’ve got a peggy 2, and would love a clock!
