the most amazing RGB propeller clock ever seen

[IgnoringDangerSigns]

Sounds great, although a bit expensive, it's truly unique. You could also provide more information about it, like how much noise it makes (assuming it does any audible one), how durable it is (it's a spinning circuit, most people would question that i think), how much power it draws, is it viable to be working for long periods of hours (like a normal household clock)... That's all information which might be useful to a potential buyer IMO. Nontheless, i hope the project is a success!

[DarkAngelBv]

This is the greatest clock made with LED`s that i ever seen.

[hellsguardian00]

how did u power a rotating circuit? did u use brushes etc?

and what is the speed of motor? i am trying to make a pov display but i am unable to find a high speed motor :| (am not making a clock, just a display so what is the min rpm i need?)

[MrDnepton]

MALLADE....tout simplement FOU!!!! J'en veux UNE! WOWWWWWWW Lâche pas MIke!!!

[xam107]

how much do you wnat for one? :D i want one I WANT ONE

[jawedhabib]

lol

[Psychentist]

Sweet. You guys should make it into a fan as well.

[ljmike1204]

wauwwww awsom

[shanethefox]

Dear Santa...

[ROLLNIX]

$239.95 USD/each. xddd

[adithree69]

@ROLLNIX really! I don't think costs more than 10$ if you use PSoC

[ROLLNIX]

@adithree69 yea but at the hompage 239 doller :D

[Teri92892]

What's the style of clock at 1:35 called? The one with the 3 rings that fill up according to the time?

[Arcturusalt]

how much for one of these? :d

[dewulftom]

this clock is really amazing! :D

how much does this clock?

[TheBalasquide]

dear santa

[christophpile]

not bad

[komandercapish]

put this clock at fixie bike wheel

[broom2000]

I WANT! I WANT! I WANT!

[Jonki1]

awesome clock >.> btw what's then name of that song any1 know?

[edudg2007]

WOOOOOW !!!

=O

[nrk98]

this was a real nerdgasm.. WOOH

[ranamuhammadatif]

Where can I buy it?

[blackend00]

:( awsome fff i wana make one as a project but i don't know how to start (could be use PIC 16F84A and for the leds i don't know how )help please

[mast3rbug]

@blackend00 I will say, If you have to ask howto start a project like a virtual clock, maybe it's because you are not ready for it.. You must start with small projects first, until you are good enough to figure out by yourself. Do you have any project background other than led blinking that you made yourself?  You must be confident with the entire chip functionality. (Timers, interrupt, peripherals ect...)

[blackend00]

@mast3rbug ^^ i study électronique parts and how to work with ,but i work on airplans and made a fiew normal clock but never tried to do somthing like this ,i'm thinking that the chip should work with the same frequency of the engine it's like a video itch frame has a display and the human mind finch the work till it be a complit image ;i have to try it ^^ thx and good good work

[mast3rbug]

@blackend00 The chip can work at any frequency. It's not important. What is important is that you must turn at 27 RPS minimum, or you will have flicking effect. You have to sync each turn exactly at the same place or the display will jitter. To pass the power to the rotating arm, you can use induction at the resonant frequency of your coil or brushed. I wish this can help you a little.



[blackend00]

@mast3rbug ;) ok i well try a simple one and try to make it better ,thx for tip :)

[adithree69]

@blackend00 use PSoC you can do it in an hour ...

[blackend00]

@adithree69 PSoC !! whats this

[adithree69]

@blackend00 PSoC is easy programmable system on chip ! its damn too easy to program .. Kinda uses Graphical user inteface to program .. . . . . . it has built in blocks like timer and counters and even analog blocks ... which will be useful in designing such an application

[blackend00]

@adithree69 mmm i found somthing like that in micro pascal or C that you can drow somthing and it give you the script for it ...if PSOC work on PIC 16F 84 or 18F that well be great and make things easy for me ....thx mate for the help

[De4thWing]

now make it 3d :D

[SeymourDrayton]

Incredibile. But, I wonder, is it noisy?

[J4kki94]

Here we got the shit for the club!

[FinnGoesMad]

O___O!

[ThePunkkapoika]

I buy it. NOW

[davidenelson]

This is cool. But the only problem is that it draws more power than a traditional clock

[gollumondrugs]

Why did you use the Mega644? Speed?

[obp55obp]

wowwwwww!!! thats awesome!!!



[DarkCharizard21]

i want one ^w^

[Hlunkabarn]

my question is, Does it make irritating fan sound?

[rogueownaa]

Hey dude theese are rly cool. Is it possible to get shipment to finland if i want one of theese?

[MrBigboy5120]

Make it into to a watch and ill definitelt buy it!

[mast3rbug]

@MrBigboy5120 Maybe it's possible, but for the present, the problem is the battery...

[elnod]

@mast3rbug

Continuous operation would be very problematic, even with a LiPo. But I think if it had a tactile switch to activate the watch and just have it turned off when you don't want to read the time, it would last a reasonable amount of time.

[Harry41181]

It looks like its from the 80's, have i missed something??

[waqasidrees100]

wats music name ...

[Theblackspy12]

Ok... but will it blend?

[gachu26]

muy buen trabajo realmente te felicito me encanto

[DifferentKev]

Thatssssss some nice Redstone you have there!

[koke5555]

omg genius XD

[lefebvrer3289]

I reallllly want one!

[cauda123]

madness

[nags555]

wait i just saw the description

[nags555]

i want. do you ship to the uk?

[louis2k92]

me want.....

[crackspider101]

Is it noisy?

[innovativedevice]

@crackspider101 not very noisy because this is in a closed box. About the noise of a power supply in a desktop computer.

[Dominoes282]

Rolex just cummed

[mast3rbug]

@Dominoes282 lol. I must say, nice comment.

thanks.

[MrDuffdude]

Ok at first I thought this would be one of those fail things.

But Actually that is the most EPIC clock EVER :)

I've gotta get one!!!!!!

[jpTankMan]

Too bad this thing is 200$

[TheZorch]

I want one!

[staringischaring]

If Chuck Norris needed a clock that clock would be it.

[MrHerpderpington]

@staringischaring chuck norris doesn't need a clock. if chuck norris is late time slows the fuck down.

[staringischaring]

@MrHerpderpington true true

[Dandadudemedia]

pacman doesn't use lip gloss

[TrentonJamesWollman]

@Dandadudemedia ya but mrs. pacman does

[ILFZ2]

What about some anti aliasing haha

[Aeqelable]

Damn, can't pause and click the link to the better video!

[keksinnot]

That is one cool clock!

[FUBUXGEAR]

dont you mean LED?

[Ilovelazers]

arduino pins!

[anikaluv7]

fuck yeah *_*

[pmartinez32]

just tell me the price!!!

[TheGodOfBlocks]

I WANNA BUY ONE! how much are you selling them for, if at all.

[NichetronixLLC]

Nice propeller clock. I built one a few years ago, but I agree, this one is quite nice.

[HulluHainTappaja]

There is just one problem... You will be always late when you start watching the clock. :D

[archie977]

how do i get one of these clocks?

[JacekMlynek]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooow! this is beatiful

[WHUDDUPBITCH]

WOW, can i buy one?

[D8Y1L3A9N3]

what type of clock was at 1:35 ?

[innovativedevice]

@D8Y1L3A9N3 Clock at 1:35 is a special clock where the seconds are at the outer circle, minutes in the middle and hour at center. Everything move on real time... colors on the video doesn't reflect the real colorful effect.

[D8Y1L3A9N3]

@innovativedevice is there an actual name for it?

[innovativedevice]

@D8Y1L3A9N3 no but I guess the circular time display mode would be fine.

[34superboy]

this is the most amazing RGB propeller clock ever seen

[dumchik1991]

жестяк!))))

[BoyShonny]

Holy SHIT!

[pHr33kAcHu]

That clock is the greatest clock ever.

[jhurst111]

i wonder what it would look like with a high speed camera

[EARN2555]

How mony ?



[PotholedCracker]

That is impressive, but can you wear it on your wrist?

[9replay9]

How i came to this?

[imacloud]

Badass

[Ricy013]

to expensive! -.-

[albertodaffre]

amazing!!

[ChaiSmoothie]

no really what if we want to follow this so we can buy it as soon as possible?

[pavelsj]

wow!!! that´s insane, congrats dude, hey what´s the name of the song?

[mast3rbug]

@pavelsj This Beat Is (Radio Edit) Laurent Konrad

Thanks

[bizugodaterra]

@mast3rbug Tank's for the name of the music :P

[mathy906]

music ?

verry nice thing by the way

gona buy it !

[rva1945]

Do you sync the leds with theposition of the bar?

[mast3rbug]

@rva1945 which bar? All the leds are always in synch with the 240 positions.

[rnkex2]

This is a piece of art!

[davidsfc9]

holly mothe....

[felineboy]

I don't know how fast it spins and if this might produce an annoying flicker, but If you turn on a led every other revolution, you can have a 50% shade. That could help to have some antialiasing on the edges of the displayed figures.

[mast3rbug]

@felineboy Yes your right! I tested it, but it flick. The actual speed of the clock is about 28 FPS. It's the minimal speed to keep to have an acceptable refresh rate. So, you need about 60 FPS to do 14 colors instead of 7. This make too much noise and induce some serious stress over some big soldered parts. I also tried to do a sort of High Speed PWM to create 64 colors, But with the 12 serial/parallel shifters, The CPU is too slow for that. The brightness control is made with this trick.

[felineboy]

@mast3rbug hmm... probably you could use one or two simple CPLDs instead of the 12 shift registers, and add the PWM logic in there. Besides, it might even be less expensive than what you have now.

[mast3rbug]

@felineboy The problem is the available space on the arm itself. all the shift registers are placed at bottom of the PCB arm feeding the leds directly with VIAS. The smalest CPLD size is 44 pins. Too much to go under the arm leds. And the registers cost about 30 cents each. Not to bad.

[fuzzywzhe]

@mast3rbug If you want higher resolution stagger the LEDs, so have an another arm that is 180 degrees away from arm #1, and have the LEDs so that they are position IN BETWEEN the leds of the other first arm.

[mast3rbug]

@fuzzywzhe Sure, but there is some problems related to that method: 1st, the noise is twice higher, 2nd, the cost is a lot more. 3rd the current consuption and CPU LOAD is really higher, all the air power supply mus be redisigned from start.

[fuzzywzhe]

@mast3rbug Well, if you don't care about higher resolution, then it doesn't matter.

You can also use two CPUs, just need some way to sync them, put them on the same clock.

[mast3rbug]

@fuzzywzhe I know, it's not a problem for a personnal project, but it's a commercial project, and the price tag would be too high. I have some personal versions of this but not for release.

[frosty1433]

would be cool if it spinned the other way so it would seem like a millisecond representation.

[innovativedevice]

@frosty1433 The refresh of the camera doesn't fit the display of the clock, that's why you see a counterclockwise artifact. This doesn't exist when you look at it for real.

[ReidxCore]

huh, wow

[AgentSapphire]

wow... this is... brilliant...

[hkhandan]

Cool!

[darcksinder]

2 words

fuking awesome O:

[zabelzerolp]

Damm that fucking amazing. I want one. :)

[Rutrend]

Ok,cool,but it can´t be working all the time. Isn´t it?

[mast3rbug]

@Rutrend Sure it can. Mine work all the time. There is also a start/Stop programming time.

[halonate99]

stumble why was i brought here?

[kkpitpfunme52]

Hey um i think i might buy one off ebay soon from you guys and does it make any sound? please dont lie :) because that thing spining around that fast must make some

[mast3rbug]

@kkpitpfunme52 Yes it make noise. But just a little since it's a closed frame. It make less noise than a esktop computer.

[cheeze3056]

So COOL! By far best one i have seen yet! Keep up the good work! =D

[pesrik]

Вечно какую-то боебень придумывают!!! А в космос первыми полететь СЛАБО???

[thespaceboon101]

lol good way to keep you awake at night

[hat1324]

attatch to a 7200 rpm hdd motor and see if you can get rid of the distracting rotation illusion lol

[innovativedevice]

@hat1324 the rotation illusion doesn't exist when you look with your eyes. this artifact come from the "images per seconds" captured by the camera.

[Officer94]

thats amazing!

[slashsnemesis]

I want one!

[cumesoftware]

WOW! I liked the concept you used when designing those PCBs. Very lightweight and the transparency must be stunning! Thanks!

[gerry410]

Whats the song?

Please i wanna do that. Could you give it to me?

[trockwell100]

Best way to tell time when you're tripping.

[sorafalen]

1:30 :O thats my birthday lol

[MrBenlus]

first i was like: How the hell can a clock be amazing. later i was like : Hell yeah! i want to get one! :D

[drcaos]

Impressive

[archon808]

This is really cool, but $250 is way too much.

[kaspar10000]

cool

[kryptonek88]

can you make a hypnocube... i really want one =D

[Vaton89]

that was really cool!

[korkiwi]

On eBay:

Buy it now: $239.95

Me:  O_O'

[flyingcubic]

what about the noise of the clock?

[tinozza]

ahaha!! the best is packman!!!

[Supdude147]

1:03 <-- click that to save a minute of your life.

[mast3rbug]

@Supdude147 And what if the peoples want to know the details and how the clock works?

[jeffhuys]

@mast3rbug Put it BEHIND the actual video.

[TheDarkFalcon]

@mast3rbug Thank you for having the first minute that was all i was orignally wanted to see, until I saw the how cool it actually was. haha.

[TheDarkFalcon]

@mast3rbug Thank you for having the first minute, that was all I was actually interested in at first until I saw how cool the footage was. I have been considering making a basic led panel myself, but it would never be this good haha.

[paticoeci]

@mast3rbug I wanna knoww ittt i wanna make it hehe

[ketse89]

@Supdude147 Or more than minute, if you have sloooow connection. I got 10mbps and Youtube is just slow, never downloads even 4mbps...
