[Maemo 5] Binary Clock on the N900?

[xelahu]

unfortunaly I am not able to do that. But I think it will look great. Can somebody do this?

#!/bin/python

VERBOSE_MODE = True # Set to False for no information.

import time

class BinaryClock:
	t = time.time()
	localtime = time.localtime(t)
	
	def display(self, verbose = False):
		hour = str(self.localtime[3])
		minute = str(self.localtime[4])
		second = str(self.localtime[5])

		hms = (hour, minute, second)
		
		for line in reversed(range(4)):
			if verbose:
				timeline = "%s   " % (1 << line)
			else:
				timeline = ""
			
			for tt in hms:
				if len(tt) == 1:
					tt = "0" + tt
					
				for i in range(2):
					if self.bit_at_p(int(tt[i]), line) == 1:
						timeline += "*"
					else:
						timeline += " "
						
				timeline += "   "
					
			print timeline
			
		if verbose:
			print "    %s%s : %s%s : %s%s" % (hour[0], hour[1], minute[0], minute[1], second[0], second[1])
			
	def bit_at_p(self, N, p):
		dis = 1 << p
		x = N & dis
		
		return int(x > 0)

bc = BinaryClock()
bc.display(VERBOSE_MODE)

Done.

Sample output:

Silent mode:

     **    *
 *    *   *
*    **    *

Verbose mode:

8              *
4        **
2    *
1   *    **   **
    12 : 55 : 19

Updated version

#!/bin/python

VERBOSE_MODE = True # Set to False for no information.

import time

class BinaryClock:
	localtime = time.localtime(time.time())
	
	def display(self, verbose = False):
		hms = (self.pad_zero(self.localtime[3]), self.pad_zero(self.localtime[4]), self.pad_zero(self.localtime[5]))
		
		for line in reversed(range(4)):
			if verbose:
				timeline = "%s   " % (1 << line)
			else:
				timeline = ""
			
			for tt in hms:
				for i in range(2):
					if self.bit_at_p(int(tt[i]), line) == 1:
						timeline += "*"
					else:
						timeline += " "
						
				timeline += "   "
					
			print timeline
			
		if verbose:
			print "    %s%s : %s%s : %s%s" % (hms[0][0], hms[0][1], hms[1][0], hms[1][1], hms[2][0], hms[2][1])
			
	def bit_at_p(self, N, p):
		dis = 1 << p
		x = N & dis
		
		return int(x > 0)
		
	def update(self):
		self.localtime = time.localtime(time.time())
		
	def pad_zero(self, tt):
		tt = str(tt)
		
		if len(tt) == 1:
			return "0" + tt
		
		else:
			return tt

		
bc = BinaryClock()

while True:
	print "\n" * 24
	bc.display(VERBOSE_MODE)
	time.sleep(1)
	bc.update()

Thank you very much for the Code :-). But i ment that I am not able to Programm for the N900. I made a Picture for a Binary Clock (Example).

This would be nice. Can somebody do that?

Save the code to a file (binaryclock.py), and in the X-Terminal, run:

python binaryclock.py

It will show the above, without the fancy graphics. I haven't done any graphical programming on the N900 lately, so wouldn't be able to make it run with a nice frontend as you shown above, but the initial idea is there.

If anyone can point me to an easy tutorial on how to use Qt/Widget with python, I'd be happy to give it a shot. If anyone fancies writing a GTK frontend to it, please, join in, the more the merrier.
