You have just found the best edge-lit, most FOXIE clock in existence.

You are going to love it.

It is much more than the sum of its parts, including innovative, modern features like built-in online firmware updates, a powerful RISC-V processor that has WiFi (and BLE, though not yet supported), lots of configurability, time memory, light level awareness, built-in LED filter in the lid, and much, much more.

Unplugging your clock to move it?

The time is remembered for more than 2 days, with no need to ever replace a battery, because of the built-in supercapacitor providing backup for the dedicated Real Time Clock. What a time to be alive, right? It also uses a modern USB-C connector (why doesn't everything?). If your clock is configured to be on WiFi, it will sync time from the internet at boot and every ~3 hours.

Nostalgia to the Max

The old digits smoothly fade out as each new one arrives, nostalgically imitating old nixie tubes. Unlike those tubes, these LEDs are reliable, low voltage, extremely efficient, can be any color, and also can be dimmed in dark environments.

Built-in Light Sensor

Smart, automagical brightness control. The digits also are proportionally lit more brightly toward the back to accommodate shining through multiple layers of acrylic.

Bright light filter

The top piece holding the acrylics also functions as a light filter with louvers that almost completely hide the extremely bright LEDs from being seen.

PXL mode for the pixels!

Everyone loves pixelation at the right time. The Foxie Clock 2.0 can be set into PXL mode and the lid can be swapped for a totally different experience.

Expansion

There are two expansion ports, including a QWIIC expansion port (use any of SparkFun's or Adafruit's sensors), and the 8-pin expansion port including GND, 5V, 3.3v, SDA, SCL, and 3 GPIO (or 1 + UART TX/RX).

The PCB is a simple, 2-layer single-sided PCB, using 92 LEDs, a hilariously powerful 160Mhz RISC-V Espressif ESP32-C3-MINI processor with 320KB RAM and 4MB flash. Then an external Real Time Clock, with a 32.768Khz Qwartz crystal, with a dedicated supercapacitor backup is added, just to make sure you don't lose the time. There's no glue, and only two nuts+bolts are used to hold together the entire clock. Take it apart, customize it, make it your own.

Every clock is unique

Beautiful woods, all the time. Line digits or Dot digits (for a limited time) engraved on the acrylics... plus the included dark clear acrylic PXL mode lid.

Each clock is handmade from an assortment of various woods including: Curly Maple, Cherry, Walnut, and sometimes... exotic woods like Purpleheart, Zebrawood, Leopardwood, Wenge, Padauk.
