A new guide today in the Adafruit Learning System: Qualia S3 Space Clock
David Bowie asked if there was life on Mars, but what about time? With this project, you can easily switch between viewing your local time on Earth and coordinated Mars time (MTC) on a beautiful round 720×720 display housed in a retro space-themed orb enclosure.
This guide will show you have to use the new Qualia S3 board with a round display, as well as calculate coordinated Mars time (MTC).

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!
