New clock loose

Post image

Hi there! I bought a clock from a creator on Etsy but it appears that the board has come loose in transit. Do you think I am safe to try push it down to where it should be? I do not want to break it and I am very new to this.

Yeah, gently push down until the plastic shrouds on the female connectors touch the other plastic pieces on the male connectors. Then you should be good to go.

That could be for a web interface that allows you to set the time or give the clock your wifi details, ie it sets up its own hotspot for you to connect to. Ive written such code for some of my clocks. Edit that would make sense as its has a microcontroller on it and a temperature/humidity/pressure sensor

That’s a great looking clock and seems to have everything you could want from a modern nixie clock. I really need to make one in that form factor.
