Fast clocks, model railroads, LED displays, and more
Conclusion
Fast clocks provide a way for model railroaders to bring some realism to their layouts. Here, I've explored how to control time a little bit by managing update rates separate from the system clock, and I looked at how to create a large external display. In my case, I displayed a clock, but the same principle can be expanded to create large numerical displays to show anything that my Pi can discover.
