Projects In This Repository

• Tracking Time in a Networked System - an overview of how to track time using JavaScripts Date API, and of real-time clocks on microcontrollers.
• Setting the Time on a Microcontroller
• Clocks in JavaScript using p5.js - a collection of JavaScript clock examples using p5.js
• Arduino-Based Clock Examples
  • Programmable LED Clocks - clock examples using programmable LEDs such as the WS2812 (NeoPixel), APA102C, etc.
  • Microcontroller-Driven Quartz Clocks - how to control a standard quartz-clock from a microcontroller
• Making Your Own Clock Hands - how to make clock hands, mostly for quartz clocks, using a small CNC mill.
• Two Stepper Motor-Driven Clock Mechanism - a custom clock mechanism designed by Ben Light, which uses two stepper motors. The hands are not linked by gears, so they can be driven independently of each other.
• Notes on controlling the VID28-05, a two-stepper, concentric shaft mechanism, useful for when you want to make clocks where the two hands are not coupled to each other’s movement.
• What Not To Do Clock - a tabletop clock device built for the ITP Tangible Interaction class by Tom Igoe and Ben Light.
