# kobebeefg/ikea-clock-lab

> Hardware hack and tutorial for IKEA KORTLINJE LED panel, replacing its controller with a Seeed XIAO ESP32 C6 to display custom patterns or a Wi-Fi clock with web and button controls.

- Magnitude: 1.8 out of 10 — Cooling
- Stars: 92 total · +2 stars measured 2026-10-16, 00:05–01:36 UTC, ≈ 11 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic

## Useful for

- Reproduce the mod to drive the 42x9 panel from an ESP32 C6 instead of the stock board
- Build a Wi-Fi clock on the panel that syncs time and weather via Open-Meteo
- Control patterns or clock settings from web page or physical buttons

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-16 (UTC), 00:05–01:36: 90 → 92 stars (+2). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +11 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 3 days old and already has 92 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #177.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 9
- Issues and pull requests: 0
- Watchers: 2
- Average over the last week: 22 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 1

## Stars per day, last 4 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-10-13 … 2026-10-16: 47, 24, 8, 2

## Spotted in now

- Top new repositories this week: #177

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
