 ### Component base is very simple:
 
-* Arduino NANO v3 chinese replica
+* Arduino NANO v3 chinese replica (on Atmega-168 chip)
-* 7 segment 4 digit LED indicator with common anode, FYQ-5641BG-21
+* 7 segment 4 digit LED indicator with common anode, FYQ-5641BD-21 (red LEDs)
 * 8 resistors that limiting current on LED segments, 330 Ohms, 0.25 watts
-* RTC Module GEEGROW with DS1307 chip
+* RTC Module GEEGROW with DS1307 chip (very basic, only RTC chip, quartz resonator, button battery, no additional memory chip)
 * 5x7 cm single side prototyping board
 * usb phone charger as power supply
 * 2 push buttons
 * 1 on/off switch
 * Gainta G521G enclosure (92x66.5x28мм)
 * 5m power cord
+
+### Optionally you may need:
+
+* Capasitor with well capacity if your charger has small capasitor on output
+* Fuse, to protect your device
+* DC/DC transformer if you have power supply that gives more than 5 volts or less than 4.5 volts (this will give additional surge protection if your power supply dies, this can happen after 3-5 years of uninterrupted work)
+
+### Additional Notes:
+
+My RTC module is not very accurate due to bad quartz chrystal calibration, looks like it is not exactly 32768 Hz and clock runs faster than it should be, giving about 5-8 seconds runaway per day. So i have to implement time correction in software (temperature changes during day/month/year is not very big - about 10 degrees Celsius, so we can use software compensation without thermal compensation).
+
+This project split into 2 branches:
+
+* **default** that contains generic clock without any additional elements
+* **photoresistor** that contains additional hardware - photocell bridge - and software algorithm that compensates ambient light sensed by photocell basing on LED display charachteristics.
+
+### Stable tags for branches:
+v1.5 - default
+v1.4 - photoresistor
