Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-source firmware project that puts German DB or Swiss railway clock faces on a specified ESP32-S3 AMOLED display, with a browser-based installer.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-23 issue.

For: ESP32 hobbyists with the specified Waveshare display
Worth noticing: The DB face pauses for two seconds after a 58-second sweep; the Swiss face uses a 58.5-second sweep.

Field notes

The setup flow separates flashing from clock configuration: after installation, the connected board receives timezone, brightness, theme, and optional Wi-Fi settings over USB. The page says network credentials are not stored by the installer and specifies 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. Compatibility is limited to the Waveshare ESP32-S3-Touch-AMOLED-1.8 V2 tested by the maker; frame rate varies with hand angle, and 60 fps is not sustained.
