The BlokClok Project
2009 by Patric
Mike McRoberts sent me the unique concept clock using an8×8 RGB Dot Matrix Display.
The time is indicated using blocks of colour. The central 6×6 grid is split into 4 x (3×3) grids and each 3×3 block is a different colour. The number of LED’s per 3×3 grid indicate the digit. i.e. if the first 3×3 grid has 1 LED lit then the first digit is 1, the second has 7 then the 2nd digit is 7, etc. The top two grids are the hour digits and the bottom 2 the minutes. Around the edge the unused LED’s have a moving light that shows the approximate position of the seconds.
Great idea. Thanks Mike McRoberts [link]

Great project and a nice idea on how to represent the time. It’s refreshing to not see a BCD or hex LED clock for a change
The second hand is terrific — makes it very clear that it’s a clock.
