To start clock, execute:

clock

To attach to the clock process, execute:

screen -r clock

To kill the clock, execute:

screen -r clock
# Send a SIGINT (^C), SIGTSTP (^Z), or SIGKILL (^\\)

To initiate the backlight, press the center button.

To switch backlight colors, press the left/right buttons, when not glowing.

1. Fork the repo (not required, but recommended) and clone it, or pull the latest changes (if you don't want to fork it).
2. Open share/clock.py with an editor.
3. Find the colors list and add a dictionary with the following syntax (which is similar to JSON).

{'name' : color_name, 'combo' : (r, g, b)}

⚠️ Warning: It is imperative that color_name is a string and the value of combo is a tuple. 4. Save the file and reinstall (run ./install.sh). Note: Make sure you kill the existing process.
