PiClock3 is a complete rewrite of PiClock (https://github.com/n0bel/PiClock). It is based on Python3 and PyQt5. It is also much more modular and less monolithic.
At this point, this is a rough preview of the direction being taken for PiClock3. For something useful that works, use this fork of PiClock (https://github.com/SerBrynden/PiClock) It is still being updated.
Ongoing updates to this will be n0bel/PiClock#230
I'll be committing many partially complete commits here as an easy means to distribute code my PiClocks for testing.
No detailed instructions have been created. Basic information follows.
- On GitHub.com, navigate to the main page of the repository: PiClock3
- Above the list of files, click the < > Code button.

- Log into your Pi, (either on the screen or via ssh) (NOT as root). You'll be in the home directory of the user pi (/home/pi) by default, and this is where you want to be.
