If you’re looking for a fun Raspberry Pi Pico project that’s functional and niche, check out this true binary mode clock created by Dr2mod. This isn’t the first Pico-based project of his we’ve shared but it’s the first true binary mode clock we’ve come across.

The best Raspberry Pi projects are ones you can set up and use once they’re put together and this clock would make a fine addition to any maker’s desk. It’s a little hard to read if you’re new to binary. From top to bottom, the rows represent the current hour, minute and second. An illuminated square represents a one while a dark square represents a zero.
