Simple clock - finished.

Successfully converted the code for this clock project to run on a Wemos D1 mini instead of an Arduino Uno so it would work with the scale of my project. Also seems kind of a waste to use the Uno for such a simple project as it is 4 times the size of the Wemos and has twice the number of input and output pins. Designed and 3D printed a base for the parts and as an afterthought - a grid to cover the MAX7219 Dot Matrix 32x8 LED Display Module (to give it more character). Got the small glass dome here. Leave a comment if you are interested in building this and need specifics... 81,87,71,0,B
