Binary Clock

Homemade binary clock that administers a STONE-COLD BEATDOWN on the pseudo-binary clocks found elsewhere. Awwww yeah.

ZERO AND ONE FOREVAH!

sorry, desiredusername, but this real binary clock is pseudo-binary, too. it does NOT display the decimal value of the time. it just shows the numbers in a different way than the usual ones. but very nice anyway. got blueprints of the board for me?

[desiredusername]

You mean it doesn't show the *binary* value of the time?

Actually, even a regular clock isn't decimal. It's sexagesimal. So this is a binary representation of a decimal notation of a base-60 clock.

I have a blog post coming up about a binary calendar. Keep your various sensory organs peeled for it.

cool

I like your Stirlings. I wish I had access to a machine shop, but sadly I don't....yet.

dose anybody have a soldering diagram so that i could build this

This is nice, but the pseudo-binary clock (which has 4 columns) is easier to read. I am making one right now using an AT2313 uC. :) So that's interesting.

binary code was 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 etc etc right? thats awesome

Scratch that it prob uses binary counters and a 555 IC

[cris1133]

Very Neat! Does it use S to P shift registers and a 555 IC?

Ehem... So, if anyone could tell me a clock company which sells clocks like the video's one but for the wrist (Only the binary part) I would appreciate it. And oh! Don't forget it has to have the 16 bit for hours (Then it can count up to 24).

2 and its powers are the future. Hail, Hexadecimal Radix!

I would LOVE to find a clock which works in the same binary way as this. I HATE not finding a commercialized binary clock with an up to 24 hours listing like this one's. I already hated the a.m.-p.m. thing when I had to hate a type of clock which had to be cool coz it was binary but lacked the 16 bit in hours and even the a.m.-p.m. thing, which made these binary clocks useful as an analogic one, in other words, worthless for a person who drinks 3 days of the week away and wakes up at 18:00. Nice

you should use decoupling, when there is too many leds light up, some will have a lower brighnes.

[xpzwhisper]

that's cool! i'm going to build similar, probz will have those three line horizontally. did you make this clock using logic gates or a PIC?

[daskraut]

taken a look at your blog and tell you what: i'll bookmark it.
