I made a mistake in the modified firmware – if you use the firmware that writes to EEPROM my changes result in the countdown time being written – this corrects that. I also added the ability to flash the colon (typical in digital clocks).

// Flash the Colon

if (digitalRead(COLON) == LOW)
digitalWrite(COLON, HIGH);

digitalWrite(COLON, LOW);

countdownSeconds = (hours + 1);
countdownRunning = true;
ticked = false; //Need to do this to prevent writing in the EEPROM value for Countdown seconds
}
}
