If you want to build one yourself (it also tells the time on Earth), complete instructions and source can be found at the repository: [[https://github.com/stroggprog/mars-clock-2]]. The clock can also act as a slideshow for your family photos. Read on for further details.

The clock can also act as a slideshow for your family photos.
+This time it comes with a complete menu-driven installation system that can install, uninstall, repair and upgrade. The clock can run on a DietPi operating system, and there are a comprehensive set of instructions on how to prepare a Raspberry Pi 4 for the clock. After that it's just a matter of cloning the repository and running the install menu.

 It is necessary to attach the necessary hardware (a display such as the MHS35 3.5" TFT Touchscreen or RPI's Official 7" Touchscreen). For the 7" screen, follow the manufacturers instructions.

 The instructions provided by the clock assume a //DietPi// system, and therefore should work with most other distributions. To see why, visit [[http://dietpi.com]] and learn why this operating system is different.

 Once the system has been correctly configured and all the necessary software installed (e.g. a web browser), it is simply a matter of `git clone`ing the [[https://github.com/stroggprog/mars-clock-2]] repository and running the **//menu.sh//** script file that can be found in the root of the repository folder. A //whiptail// menu will then help with the installation.
 The installation itself is complicated, but the scripts will do it all for you, so even a novice can get their clock up and running in just a few moments.
