I don't give a rat's sphincter
Nice looking clock, why through hole resistors?
I found ordering boards very expensive thanks to the tariffs
Not in the UK it's not![]()
$51 bucks to have pcbs that cost a buck delivered to the US. And the orange mango is having a tantrum and threatening to raise traffics back to the highest levels from April. He's screwing Americans.
that’s what America voted for
this thread got me to thinking of building a clock on a perf-board BUT using 60 green LEDs for minutes
LEDs don't easily replicate the hands of an analog clock, at least without a multitude of them. Following the theme of my analog clock, an easy-to-understand "about" clock is pretty simple. A ring of 60 LEDs (60 to preserve the ability to display minutes, but 48 works better for this idea) displays not minutes, but hours. As the hours progress from noon to midnight, the ring is progressively illuminated (and repeated from midnight to noon). The ring of LEDs can be controlled by eight 74HC595 shift registers.
Inside the ring of 60 (or 48) LEDs are 12 LEDs to indicate the hour positions. These LEDs will always be illuminated.
I see I am not th only one who thought about using the 4017 counter.
