Could you perhaps post a tutorial on how to do this and what materials you used and where you got online, and perhaps the code as well for the diif colour patterns? I know it is a bit much but I have 3 platters form an old hard drive and would like to be able to use at least one of em for a project like this, though would it also be possible to make it remote controlled like the on in the black case by mb1988mb1988?
@marvindingdong Heh, I've actually thought about selling it or making others to sell. The problem is, I'd think they'd be too expensive. A lot of work goes into making one.
@skorpion1298 After my school semester's over, I plan on writing it up on my blog, naturetm.com. You should check it at the end of this year or january of next year and I should have a good explanation. If you look at some of the other videos I have of the clock I have a rough explanation in the comments.
I've read your post on hackedgadgets forum. I think you can keep using IR sensor and hide it entirely under the platter. Use it in reflective mode. Depending on how sensitive your particular IR sensor is to visible ambient light, it may be enough to sense the slit, or you may need to add a little black stripe to the reverse of the platter, it will be your photointerruptor.
