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.
This cool design Binary Clock sent to me by Shawn Augustson.
This is a clock I made for my Electronics fabrication class. I was suppose to put together a kit, but I thought the kit version was ugly. I asked my professor if i could make my own.
This cool digital alarm clock submitted to me by Nick Hardeman. Nick writes:
The Morning Monster is a plush electronic alarm clock. He has all of the normal alarm functions, set time, set alarm, snooze, etc. However, what makes him a monster is his ability to shine the sun on your face when the alarm goes off by opening the blinds. The blinds are also manually controlled my moving his left arm up and down and he will never over-crank them!
Mike McRoberts sent me a cool RGB LED Scrolling Clock project based on Boarduino. Mike McRoberts writes:
This is an 8×8 RGB LED module, being driven by 4x
74HC595N Shift Registers controlled by a Boarduino (Arduino clone that can be used on a breadboard). The time data is from a DS1307 Real Time Clock IC.The display is outputting the time and then the date and cycling through 7 different colours. This took me about 5 hours in total to put together and code.This is really a test for another clock project I have in mind.
