This project was made to display the time in binary on an 8x8 LED matrix. The code was written in Python 3 and utilized the Sense HAT API. The code was made to run on a Raspberry Pi with the Sense HAT shield connected to it. The clock has a safety turn-off which displays a pause screen in case the Raspberry Pi gets too hot; during testing the Raspberry Pi never reached high temperatures.
