[Teslamaniac]

where do i begin to make one of these please ?

[killerbeenl]

I'm starting with pic programming so this looks like a nice starting point for me while having a 6 hdd's of the same kind. First thing for me is to get the stepper motor running with a sync option. seen that u used a optical gate. Is it after that you let the led run on some time division or do you use it to control motor speed to get led in sync?

[sweettooth80]

where can i get one?

@k1868548

运行时的光闪现象是摄像后形成的，实际看到效果很好，没有任何不­适。

How is the noise on this model compared to the other one? The DIY HDD that shows numbers instead of hands.

[LegoKid92]

How did you make this?? Please reply!

[whitesideskill]

Why is it making noise?? Isnt it just a clock motor replacing the HDD one

[lilbrudder32]

@whitesideskill not even close.  That effect is made with LED light through a slit in the hard drive platter and a lot of electronics. There is one moving part, the hard drive platter, and it turns fast, just as it always has.

[britrb32]

Soo cool :)

自作的硬盘时钟

[versuchsnich]

Does anyone know a german instruction for those cool clocks?? :P

I have an old HDD laying around anywhere...

[conman33311]

i have one of those dallas time thingis out of an old pentium 1 motherboard lol

[mpx41]

music suck, clock's pretty good.

[neomix21]

the leds are beneath the plate

[Aev308]

I don't understand how you guys are getting power to the led strip on the plate. is there a battery connected to the circuit on the plate, or are you using a slip ring

[spudw2k]

I'm pretty sure that is a slit (cut in the plate) and the LEDs are beneath the plate.

How to build? ^^

i want it !!!!!1111eleven

[Galforg]

Oh that's pretty. Well done indeed.

[Opelfreakie]

that's an HDD with colors and a little digital clock underneath. I have seen HDD's in which the clock appears on the disc itself. Now THAT's cool!

[DahKeyLogger]

lol dude... can't you see the clock on the disc?

[barolfe]

please do us a favor and educate yourself before you make naive comments. The HDD disk slit acts like a the hands of a clock. It's a POV effect.

[DARKTOOTHDRAGON]

[jamieriddles]

gratz, you made hackaday

[kambingbetula]

[dzgdzzh]

You can choose a hard drive of small noise, Or reduce the speed
