I'm using: Adafruit 7 SEG led i2c board which uses 2 libraries bluetooth via Software serial a RTC using the RTClib library Basically I'm making a clock display that can do the following from input via Bluetooth: Display a fixed time i.e. 9:00 Increment the hour increment the Minute and also hour if Increment goes beyond 59 reset time to the last set time Display current time Display running time based on set time

You'll write to the LCD with a custom Arduino node. It should have 2 integer inputs, one for hours and one for minutes. The print function would combine those into a display string to send to the LCD. Visual programming is great for the overall program flow, but sometimes when you need some more advanced or specific functionality it's better to write a new node instead of trying to build your functionality out of existing nodes. Pasted below is a new node that should give you a good starting point. It lets you manually set the current time in hours and minutes, as well as has a trigger for incrementing the minutes. Copy the text in the below Spoiler tag and paste it into Embrio. To edit the node, right click on it and select "Edit node definition".
