2025-01-25 (Sa) Vibe Clock Modes 2 and 3

While I worked on the clock, I often sat it on a table next to me, and the LEDs shone directly into my eyes. I added serial functions to set the brightness directly. The setting allowed for anywhere from 0 to 255, where zero was off. I measured the power consumption with red or green LEDs at full brightness and saw approximately 3.7W compared to 0.5W with the LEDs off.

I added Mode 2, where only the red lights turn on, so the clock slowly fills with color, then "empties" at the top of the hour. Mode 3 was the opposite, where color runs out and then "refills" every hour. I want to control the settings wirelessly, so I do not need the computer connected.
