Keep a few chosen cities visible beside your desk.
CAIBI’s proposed addition: Add city selection, night dimming, offline status and daylight-saving transition tests.
Start with the original
Tutorial foundation
Tutorial located; parts, current dependencies and physical results have not been tested by CAIBI.
See the original source for its photos and demonstrations. We have not copied imagery without confirmed reuse rights. A source prototype is not a photo of this proposed CAIBI build.
Prompts to move it forward
Copy a prompt into your AI tool with the source material and your actual parts. Work through one small step at a time and check the output before using it. Choose an AI tool or practise the skills first.
Plan the next step
I want to develop this idea: World-time desk clock. Intended outcome: Keep a few chosen cities visible beside your desk. The source is https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-ntp-digital-clock-timezone/. CAIBI suggests: Add city selection, night dimming, offline status and daylight-saving transition tests. First inspect the source I supply. Separate what it already does from proposed additions. Ask for my actual board, parts, skill level and missing files. Produce a small staged plan with one bench test per stage. Do not invent pin assignments, dimensions or completed test results.

Design a measured enclosure
Help me design a practical enclosure for World-time desk clock. First ask for measured component dimensions, mounting holes, connectors, cable clearance, ventilation and operating conditions. Suggest a printable or off-the-shelf approach. Begin with a fit-test piece before a complete case. Label assumptions and do not invent an enclosure rating.

Check and document the result
Create a test log for World-time desk clock. Intended outcome: Keep a few chosen cities visible beside your desk. Separate expected behaviour from observed results. Include power restart, disconnected inputs, communication failure and the actual physical use. Ask me to provide results, firmware versions, changes, photos and unresolved problems. Never mark a test passed without my evidence. Source: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-ntp-digital-clock-timezone/
