Crude and unpolished clock for Raspberry Pi.
It uses a 16x2 LCD display.
-Requires wiringPi library.
+Requires wiringPi library and enable I2C on the Pi.
+
+It displays time in this format:
+
+ 10:32:23 GMT+2
+Sat, Aug 1 2020
+
+It can read a tag (7 bytes) from an arbitrary file do display in the
+place of the TimeZone.
+This can be used, for instance, to display temperature updated by
+another process.
+
+By default it turns off the back light at midnight and turns it back on
+at 7am. This can be configured on the command line, but the
+implementation is a bit crude.
+
+All the CAD design is still provisional. At this point I have it all
+hand soldered and with just one button, but all can be used as a base to
+build a custom setup.
