I don’t think I will be installing that on my bedside table, but cool as cool.
Maybe they could improve it by only giving the time to the nearest quarter hour?.
Ha! I have an XMega controlling a surfboard! Top that!!
That’s arduous.
Maybe draw a clock with hands. Since the time is approximate anyway.
Put that on a NATO wristband and I’d wear it daily.
I have a 2" Etch-a-Sketch. That sounds like a challenge.
Do it.
How about 3-4 of them on a lazy susan, sketching ahead of time, rotating into view as the minutes change.
With the right motors, it will draw the time quickly enough. The 64:1 reduction on these motors is not helpful.
I agree. I actually kind of like it that the clock has to be inexact. If you really need to know what time it is, use your NASA-approved Casio G-Shock.
Steppers from old 5.25" floppy drives work well. I use one to run a time lapse camera track.
Boringest stuff ever.
I hear Mitt Romney keeps one in his office.
It was even boringer before the Internet.
Criminy. I am doing it! I can’t find the tiny Etch-a-Sketch in my kid’s room, so I bought one on eBay. I’ve already modified a pair of tiny RC servos to spin the dials, and I’ll laser cut some gears for it soon. I plan to use Comic Sans (or so) for the font.
Look out, world!
