Finally have my LED Matrix clock project working and compressed into a nice Walnut box. Using an Adafruit #5362 2mm pitch 64x64 display, with SmartMatrix adaptor to a Teensy 3.6. The starting point was code from matrixportal-shake-away-2020 in the Learning guides.

Nice!
The build is clean and attractive, and the shake feature is a nice surprise. Thanks for sharing the video!

Re: Led Matrix Clock
One more option added to the LED matrix clock. It can now be a Magic 8 Ball. If you are not 'of a certain age' you may never have seen one of these, an uncle of mine had one and I remember playing with it. It's sort of a cut down fortune cookie, see the wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_8_Ball. I'm calling this project officially done.

Re: Led Matrix Clock
I thought I was done with this project but came on Jason Coon's implementation of Conway's Game of Life that was too good to pass up. I totally love this display.
