DOTKLOK by Andrew O’Malley is an open-source, hackable, Arduino-based digital clock that displays a series of unique time-telling animations. The passing of time is depicted with numbers and abstract/geometric patterns, including animations inspired by classic video games such as Pong, Tetris, Pacman, and Space Invaders.
An optional “random mode” changes the animation each day at midnight so you’re greeted with a different animation each morning.
The open-source Arduino code can be modified by owners such as to change the button functions and add new time animations. The circuit board has a prototype area and all unused Arduino pins are available. You could add more switches, buzzers, sensors!
Check out the schematic, source code and BOM.
Awesome job ! Those animation bring up memories of 8-bit time straight into 21st century :D
