Really geeky clock
-->
If you are a real geek, you should consider on building this clock. This clock may look like an analog voltmeter, but it actually has a 12 hour scale so probably everyone looking at it could say time. The pointer doesn’t go round like in standard clock, but jumps to start when reach 12 hour.
The pointer of clock is controller with servo motor. The whole clock runs around PIC18F1320 microcontroller. The project uses a minimal count of components as real time is calculated in by using software method so called Warren Shroeder’s methods using PR2 free running timer.
Love it!!
Nice to see MY clock published here. It would be nice if there was a link back to the original article. Credit where credit is due and all.

An improved calibration method is here:

And another implementation, including a real-time clock chip is here:

The link is always here bellow each article as [read].
Oh. So sorry, didn’t see it at the end of the Google Ad words.
At any rate, the new links are useful for anybody who might want to build one.

No problem… You’re doing cool stuff with these clocks.
