My Propeller Clock Scanned LED Display

This is my homemade "Propeller" clock. The display appears taller than it is wide due to the camera aspect ratio 16:9 compared to youtube's 4:3. Display modes are being changed via a tv remote.

Nice work. I am just wondering how the PCB gets the power? from the motor? by wires?

[AlessandroAUS]

It gets its power wirelessly through an air core transformer running at 30khz.

Alessandro that is a cool clock! did you make that?

If so, is it hard to do?

[AlessandroAUS]

Yeah, its quite hard as to have to be good with both electronics and mechanics.

omg what the hell do you watch on tv?

[AlessandroAUS]

lol it was just the evening news.

@chickenpoper: Not understanding physics never hurt the road-runner. If you dont know you're running in air, you can do it.. ;-)

the tv is like wht? :S

[knabbers]

i remember that news story

[whiterottenrabbit]

Wrong aspect ratio sucks ass, but you can change it even after uploading your video: watch?v=MFPcAIM8fB0

Dudes, please do something against unnaturally stretched or squeezed videos. And for everybody, who doesn't know, what I am talking about, just google for "Are Some People Just Visually Dull?"

[chickenpoper]

dont forget physics...physics are very important
