I’m in love with the stripes, and with the simple making process! Ravelry member retrobaby has shared a gorgeous way to knit up a frame for a wall clock. It’s a simple stripe of garter stitch, with a drawstring to help it fit. I’m thinking about giving this a shot in crochet, too.
For those of you currently planning extraterrestrial trips, check out Alexander Avtanski‘s well-documented Mars Clock project. Built with a modem enclosure and other spare parts, the clock can tell time on any number of planets based on their rotation period. And if you’re organizing a Mars-based marathon, Alexander has you covered: the clock is capable […]
German maker Christian Aschoff built this excellent looking clone of the QLOCKTWO word clock.
Here’s a neat LED analouge clock that simulates the hands of a traditional clock using rows of LEDs.
This Instructable shows you how to build an Arduino-based alarm clock inside of a Illy coffee tin. The electronics are based on Wiseduino (Arduino clone with DS1307 real time clock on board), with a LED matrix shield sitting on top. The shield is built with 74HC595 shift registers that drive two bi-color (red, green, and […]
Everyone and their grandmamas are building cool clocks these days, and Viacheslav Slavinsky‘s “Strobeshnik” is another example. Viacheslav etched stenciled numerals into a HDD platter and strobed LEDs behind the platter to show the time. Strobeshnik uses stroboscopic effect to create the illusion of persistent numeric display. The hard drive platter has 10 digits, colon […]
Rather than using hands or digits, the Aspiral Clock consists of a slowly-rotating spiral track with a ball inside, and the time is indicated by the position of the ball.
