1  ## Adafruit Learning System tutorial  - Simple Vertical Wordclock
 2  
 3  Make a timekeeping vertical wordclock with Adafruit Feather M4, a RTC FeatherWing, and CircuitPython.

 5  Follow the Adafruit learn guide here: https://learn.adafruit.com/vertical-wordclock/ !
 6  
 7  **set_clock.py** is a run once program to set the time. You will need to edit the code as seen in the comments for the exact date and time (without daylight savings time, please). If you move time zones, you will have to reset the time using this code.
 8  
 9  **code.py** is the code that will run to display the time. It reads the time previously set. A backup battery in the RTC FeatherWing keeps the time even when power is removed.
10  
11  Use the slide switch added to the Adafruit Feather M4 to add one hour to the time for daylight savings.
