Introduction
This manual section describes the clock “faces” that you will find on the supplied SD card (or the
standard set you download should you be building the clock yourself). Whilst you can just use
these distribution faces and their numbering and arrangement, you are encouraged to rearrange
the faces and pick the ones to commonly use yourself. You are also encouraged to edit the face
files, change the sound files and reconfigure the displayed clock faces to your own amusement. If
you take the plunge and decide to start coding your own faces, then please share with us!!

Clock Face Numbering
There is only one rule: clock faces must be numbered between 1 and 999999.
The rest of this description should not be taken as hard and fast rules - this is just how the faces
are arranged on the SD card at distribution - all can be changed at your whim.
Clock faces are normally selected on the Fortress E1T Clock by:
• Turning the rotary encoder when not pressed
• Pressing the CH- or CH+ keys on the handset
• By “dialling” in number using the 0 to 9 keys and pressing EQ.
To select quickly and easily, I arrange my favourite faces to be in the number range 1 to 9 and
other good clock faces that I might occasionally want to use in the range 10 to 99. This minimises
the ‘travel’ distance using the encoder and key presses when using the IR handset. I use numbers
above 100 to display all the clock faces (even repeating the favourite ones) in logical groups so
that the full range is available for use and for demonstration.
Clock Face Filenames and Number Assignment
Clock faces are Nuggle program files living in the /nuggle folder on the SD card with .nug file
extensions. The [faces] section in the nuggle.ini file is used to link a required clock face number
41
to a Nuggle file.
For example:
[faces]
4 = awest
will make the awest.nug program execute when clock face number 4 is selected.
Note that whilst face numbers can only be used once, the Nuggle filenames can appear more
than once. Therefore in addition to the assignment of awest.nug to face number 4, you could
have:
152 = awest
further down the list. This enables you to build clusters of popular face numbers in the list.
We look forward to what you come up with…..and this is Open Source after all .
