+*** Caution ***
+Do NOT use the Arduino round power connector!
 Since Arduino runs on 5V, it has an internal power regulator.
 When the 5V is not supplied to the matrix, the leds current is gained from Arduino.
 Arduino's internal regulator is not prepared for such currents and gets overheated.

+The buttons are for:
+1. Changing:
+- Font: time digit font
+- Format: 12/24h, seconds or date/temperature
+2. Setting date/time if "Format" is pressed when Arduino starts:
+- Format button changes value
+- Font button continues to next value
+Values are:
+Matrix bright: 0-minimum, 1,2,3-according to light sensor, 4-maximum (dimmer)
+Temper offset: temperature offset (compensate for sensor accuracy)
+Year, Month, Day (of month), DOW (Day of week), Hour, Minute

+- The led brightness is automatically adjusted
+- When ambient light is stronger - leds are brighter
+- When ambient light is darker - leds are dimmed
