LED Marquee Literature Clock

Inspired by github.com/Joh... (and the projects that was inspired by), this is an MQTT client for my [LED Marquee](github.com/mas...) project. It displays the (mostly) current time using book quotes.
Code is at github.com/mas...

Sorry for taking a year to answer your question, but I just wrote this up somewhere else so I have the info handy: Rough estimate: I got the LED panels from AliExpress (www.aliexpress.us/item/2255799924064579.html), the price fluctuates from around $10-$12 each x 12, so round up to $150 for the lights. They practically give ESP32s away with an oil change, so you could call it done at that point, but I chose to use a QuinLED Dig-Quad (quinled.info/pre-assembled-quinled-dig-quad/) to make it easy to wire up and mount on the wall. That cost me about $60 shipped. And I added a MEAN WELL LRS-100-5 power supply for $20. Finally for the laser-cut frames, I burned up about $30 of wood, and there's some minimal amount of 3D printer filament as well. Along with the incidental things like having to buy a spool of 3-conductor cable, connectors, etc. So all together I'd guess it was around $300. A completely no-frills version could be maybe half that.
