I have finally decided to tackle this project. If I finish it on time, it will be a grade for a 'personal' project for my microprocessor class.
I ordered $260 worth of parts from Digikey on the 13th and they are out for delivery today (15th)! Can't wait to get started on this.
I couldn't find my old thread (if I even made one) on this.
Anyway... Inspiration came from Henk Soubry's website...
**broken link removed**
...and I will tray and a make a few modifications to mine. Instead of using a computer fan as a motor, I want to go with something bigger. My professor at SIU said he used a motor from one of those full sized stand up fans. I dont want a little tiny clock so I'll probably use a larger moter as well.
For input and setting the clock, I have decided to use an old IBM 101 key keyboard. I found the list of hex codes for each key press and I will feed those into a PIC or ATmega processor and send via IR or RF signal.
Wish me luck!
