    Hello. New clock user here. Nice product. I’d like to ask if a few display items could be modified. NCS314-6 v3.3.

    First, to disable the separator dots, is this applicable?(from another thread)
    quote:
    Disabling separating Dots is possible through slight change in the firmware.
    If you familiar with programming can do this by yourself.
    Should comment doDotBlink() function in this block.

    switch (menuPosition)
    {
    case TimeIndex: //time mode
    if (!transactionInProgress) stringToDisplay = updateDisplayString();
    doDotBlink();
    checkAlarmTime();
    blankMask = B00000000;
    break;

    Second, is it possible to disable the date display and allow time display only?

    Last, is it possible to extend the time between activating the anti-poisoning/slot machine effect? I’d like it to happen less often.

    Thank you.
    Mike

    Hello.

    1. The code segment from another thread is applicable for new Shield ver. as well. You can use it.
    2. Date display can be disabled as well in SlotMachine routine, before providing code needs to be checked.
    3. Changing the period for activating SlotMachine also possible, please use this line:
    ‘#define timeModePeriod 60000’ – 1 minute (value in milliseconds, can be changed)

    Will write back to you with ousting the ‘time’ display in SlotMachine code segment.
    Regards.
