binary clock kit?
Posted: Mon Jan 01, 2007 8:02 pm
man, i've been looking everywhere for plans or a kit or any way to build a binary clock. i've seen some crappy kits that use lame binary, giving each seperate digit a column of LEDs to use to display the number (0-9) in binary, but that's gay. i've been trying to find a way to build one taht's a bit more hardcore, like this:
as opposed to this:
why i want it to be different? because the second one is lame. get to read a 3-bit to 4-bit binary number on a clock that looks like every single other one poeple have? if i'm going to build a clock, it'll be different.
my design: green = am/pm, yellow = hours, red = minutes, and the sorta red stuff below the minutes are seconds i may or may not have in the final plan.
anyways, cutting to the chase, i'm wondering if anyone else here knows electronics well enough to know how i can do this, or can point me somewhere that can tell me or help me.
or maybe you guys have suggestions for the design?
oh, and when i eventually get around to making it, i'll make a tutorial/walkthrough to do this and post it here, so if you want you guys can do this with easy instructions.
