Bertho has designed and built this cool 7-segment clock, the 504 Segment clock:
At some point I was being silly and got the idea of making a 7-segment clock, but then a bit different. The result became this. Features include:
- 72 7-segment displays in three rings; inner (hour) ring 12 displays, middle (minute) ring 24 and outer (seconds) ring 36 displays
- Light sensor for adaptive display intensity; lighter during the day, dimmed at night
- Movement sensor for waving interaction; show time/date with a wave of your hand
- Each segment individually addressable with 256 levels of intensity
- Ethernet connectivity for remote control and power entry
- NTP synchronization for (near) perfect time
- Some blinkenleds for indicative purposes
- Buttons and RTC for off-line time-keeping
- 3D printed case in four sections with Plexiglas cover and back
