Building your own watch or clock is kind of a maker’s rite of passage. Once upon a time, if you went with a wrist watch, you’d typically work on producing …read more Continue reading Dev Board Watch Takes Path of Least Resistance
When it comes to educational electronic projects, it’s hard to go past building a clock. You learn tons about everything from circuit concepts and assembly skills to insights about the …read more Continue reading Educational Arduino Clock Uses Analog Meters For Display
Nowadays, it’s an even bet that your newest project somehow connects to the Internet and, thus, to the world. Even if it doesn’t, if you share your plans, someone might …read more Continue reading How Many Time Zones Are There Anyway?
Electromechanical circuits using relays are mostly a lost art these days, but sometimes you get people like [Aart] who can’t resist to turn a stack of clackity-clack relays into a …read more Continue reading A Clock Made Out of Electromechanical Relays
Clocks are a favourite project here, and we can say we’ve seen all conceivable types over the years. Just a software clock on a retrocomputer perhaps isn’t the coolest among …read more Continue reading An Apple ][ With A Pendulum
Younger electronic engineers may see resistors with old-style color codes to display their values a little less than those from previous years, but if there’s a shibboleth among those who …read more Continue reading Resistor Color Code Clock is a Bit of Fun
It wasn’t long after the development of the LED that LED watches became available. They were prized for their clear light output and low power draw. Neon bulbs, on the …read more Continue reading Neon Watch Glows Rather Nicely, Tells Time
Hackers and makers aren’t usually too interested in basic round analog clocks. They tend to prefer building altogether more arcane and complicated contraptions to display numbers for the telling of …read more Continue reading Kinetic Clock Is A Clean Modern Way To Tell Time
If there’s anything as American as baseball and apple pie, it’s gotta be the Kit-Kat clock in the kitchen. For the unfamiliar, the Kit-Kat clock is special in that its …read more Continue reading Making a Kit-Kat Clock Even Creepier
Back in 1978, the world was a bit different. There was no Raspberry Pi, no Internet, and not even an ESP32 to build projects with. And rather than order electronics …read more Continue reading Binary Clock Kit Blips Again
