Quoted from Irishbastard:

I'm not trying to put another option down in any way, and, as I said, mean no offense. I just think this looks very professional, looks like a framed work of art. This metal frame surrounds the anti glare Plexi and DMD sections. Included hardware with frame holds everything in place,only one screw needed to mount PCB. I was just very impressed, and couldn't obtain the other option so I am very happy this option was mentioned. For just around $280 total, I'm very happy with the end result.

I do, however it would need be one of older clocks (from batches 1 or 2) which use a [replaceable] PIC chip. these are the clocks using the older EDGE boards
if you have a clock that has the run-dmd WHITE board (all of the clocks that have 8 selectable color choices), your best bet is to purchase a PICkit 3 from ebay for about $20 and perform the updates yourself

Quoted from j_m_:

you know. pinside does have a 'search' feature
not up to date, but should be enough to get you going. my thought is that if everything has to be spelled out, then maybe you shouldn't be messing around with stuff like this

Quoted from phillymadison:

limpan Question about my Run DMD Pico Alarm clock. The animations on mine sometimes glitch (see pic). Can last a few minutes or a few seconds then it fixes itself. I can also hit the dim display button on and off and it fixes it temporarily. Once a day or 2 wouldn't be a big deal but it happens pretty often. Any ideas? And there isn't a way to update it like the normal size clocks just the images right? [quoted image]

Quoted from j_m_:

I'm going to chime in and suggest re-flashing the micro SD card. I've seen it where the card becomes corrupt and does it. usually, reflashing it with HDD rawcopy corrects the issue

Quoted from mjthompson:

Sounds like it's worth a try, I'll re-flash this weekend.

Quoted from j_m_:

linus
a couple of people have been experiencing corrupt SD cards with their clocks. I've been re-flashing the SD cards for those that don't own pc's
my thought is that this has something to do with the fact that something is being written to the SD card when the clocks are being unplugged (instead of powered off first using the 4th button)
have you guys considered adding a capacitor to the run-dmd that would hold enough power to complete any writes to the SD in the event of loss of power to prevent memory card corruption?

Quoted from Damonator:

So, rather than trying to search out the correct acrylic SVG files, I went a different route altogether:

A matte black metal frame with a non glare acrylic. I think it’s a nice clean look and is an easier assembly too.

Quoted from mjthompson:

I'm going to sell the run-dmd I made a while back. $325 shipped in the USA. I also have the Pickit3 programmer I used to update it, I'll include it for an additional $15 (if I can find it ).
I can add some pictures if anybodies interested, but for reference, I used Damonator's great design from this post -
