dchang18 The light doesn't bleed badly between the digits. If you are referring to the LEDs in the base lit up as shown in the photo, those are not from the digits. Those LEDs illuminate the base only and can be turned off or can be set to various colorful patterns.

dchang18 Inoticed the same glitchy "transition." It looks like the numbers are struggling to change, like there's not enough voltage or current. But I also saw times when the digits changed cleanly, so I knew it had to be an effect and not actually low voltage or current. So I turned off the transition feature, and voila, it looks great!

Very nice kit and it looks stunning when complete. It has many customization options, including individually set the colors of the numbers or choose between many RGB effects. It can periodically tell the temperature and date if you wish. Many of the features can be customized and turned off if desired. Building the kit is not hard if you have access to a hot air station. It doesn't have to be an expensive one. Banggood offers some very good stations that include both a hot air gun and soldering iron. The second thing you will need is solder paste. Spread it on the pads using a steel needle or toothpick, lay the component on the pads and heat it up using the hot air gun. It takes a while, but the solder will flow and pull the part into place. Make sure to have some solder wick as well to clean up the IC pins. Unfortunately there is an issue with one of the animations. It is the setting number 11: digital conversion effect of seconds. By default it is set to 3, which is randomly change effect daily. Option 0 which disables the effect and option 1 which progressively scrolls the number back work without issue. Option 2, the fading effect DOES NOT work properly. If you notice the numbers glitch out when changing, this is the effect that's doing it. GO TO SETTING 11 AND CHANGE THE OPTION TO 0 or 1 TO FIX THE ISSUE. I don't know why it does this but it's very obvious and looks like it's broken. Not to worry, just disable the effect. You likely won't notice it at first because effect number 1 is on by default, but after you set the date it can randomly happen. This threw me for a loop the first time it happened, as I thought I broke something. But no, it's the software that's doing it. I hope the manufacturer sees this and fixes the software.

dchang18 The "25" that is in the video alone is the temperature in Celsius.The "4" that is in the video after the date 10/01 is the day of the week (4 = Thursday).

dchang18 I had a similar problem (but it was happening right after assembly). What it took to fix mine was to re-solder the capacitors, not the resistors. First, I re-soldered the resistors, but that did nothing, so I resoldered the capacitors, and that was the fix. I didn't have to remove the capacitors to do this, I just re-melted the solder and allowed it to burn off any flux. It was probably just one capacitor, but I redid all of them because it was easiest to do that.
