What the heck is this. The target site is a bunch of pictures, motors and stuff. Am I missing something here?

So… whats the gearbox and servo for? I prefer the simple binary clock.
I’ve got a “Simon’s cat” cat. I don’t need a clock anyways.

I like the simple one…can never get numbers drilled into your head too much. Sometimes simpler is better.

An analogue binary clock? This is madness!

Cheers for the second link, Addictronics. There’s a YouTube video hidden at the bottom of the page:

That’s certainly an interesting design – looks more like a prop bomb from a spy film than a clock!

a number of years ago i had cafepress make me a printed ‘binary’ analog clock such as that one. geeky, definitely not hacky thought.

For those still trying to figure out how the read it…

Per the YouTube video the format is:

Months
Days
Seconds
Minutes
Hours

The LSB is on the right and high bits are strangely represented by UNLIT LEDs.

made on a mac.. really!

Cool post, I made another binary clock using some simple components and an arduino

I also made a full tutorial on how to build your own :)
